Hockey Puck With Embedded Device

"To accomplish this feat, the hockey pucks used in that game were each cut in half, rigged with a battery and a circuit board containing 20 infrared emitters, and then epoxied together. The pucks were activated by an electronic signal and had a battery life of about 10 minutes. An array of sensors surrounded the rink to track the puck and relayed information back to the camera following the puck. The information was then routed to the "Puck Truck," where the signal was massaged and then transmitted live to viewers. The delay time between the event on the ice and the transmission of the signal was less than 350ms."

Tao's Intent and video editing software are used in a JVC Digital Camera.

Is it possible to put tiny "all in one" PowePC 405 SOC or ARM SOC running AmigaAnywhere inside the puck and intergrate it with the Digital Camera also running AmigaAnywhere?
