Limelight

Bring the anchor into the limelight.

Limelight is the control room for a live relay race. Each leg charges in its own pool of light, and when the anchor reaches full charge the stage lifts them onto the line.

Team charge to the anchor leg: 88 percent, 21 of 24 footlights up.

Pick a leg and the light follows.

Every leg holds its own charge. The ring fills as the runner builds speed, and its size on the stage plan follows how close the handoff is.
