The Sutu is an interactive footballwall with 16LED panels, that respond when hit with the ball. The LED strips can light up in any RGB color and are moulded in polycarbonate boards to ensure optimal visibility. Using light, sound, letters and numbers, the footbal wall gives instructions to the players. Each panel is part of a serial network, which can be easily expanded.

Activities for the Sutu can be programmed for small or bigger groups and are well-suited as energizer at personnel and jubilee parties, at tradeshows and TV Shows.

The idea for a footballwall is from Drees Kroes, projectleader at ”scoring in the neighborhood’ at FC Twente. He took this idea to Yalp, a company that develops and sells playing devices. Because Yalp and KITT Engineering already worked together on another interactive playing device, called the YalpSona, the collaboration was a logical step. Together with the  city of Hengelo, the foundation FC Twente ‘scoring in the neighborhood’, Yalp and KITT Engineering the first SUTU was realized at the FBK Stadium in Hengelo, Holland.
