Newbie with some questions (PPP)

Hi, first post. I don't have a specific project I am working on quite yet, but I do have plenty of ideas. Eventually I want to put together a cab, but I'm going to end up building a lot of other things before that. Like a giant CP that is going to be on wheels to use with my 55" tv... and a double set of home made DDR pads. But those are a few months away from being started. (Really I'm just using all this as an excuse to play around with micro-controllers. )

Anyways, to get to my first of many questions. Does anyone know how the arcade ParaParaParadise machines worked? I know they used a set of sensors, IR if I'm not mistaken. But does anyone have actual specific information on what sensors they used and how they were laid out/how they work? I'm having a hard time finding much info on the actual machines (most everything I find is either on the ps2 game or the actual dances...) Sizes of the machines (exploded drawings) would be nice too if anyone knows of a place where I can find them?

Thanks.

Hmm... guess no one wants to say hi to me
