I just did my first chip-timed race (the Wisconsin Dells Tin Man), and I was really impressed with
the system, but I can't figure out how it works. It's too small to be doing any radio
transmitting--I think--so how do the timing mats know who's who?

The Champion Chip uses RFID (radio frequency identification). RFID transponders can be quite small.
In fact the only reason the chips are as bulky as they are is probably simply for an ease of use
standpoint.
