Simple microcontroller that sends signal via wifi when touched

I'm looking for a small and light micrcontroller that will send a signal via wifi (hopefully with some ID) once it's touched (can be when a circuit is closed and I'll take care of closing it when there's touch).
This seems like a very basic component but I can't seem to find one.
It's for a game I'm trying to build, I want the players to throw things at each other and to have each player wear these sensors in strategic places so when they get hit there a signal will be sent via wifi to a computer which will automatically calculate the score. The ID is needed so that each player and where he was hit can be identified.
Any ideas?

If you're planning to do this via an Arduino you'll need the Arduino and a Arduino Wifi shield. The Arduino IDE includes a wifi library that should take care of the networking for you. The WIfi shield includes it'd own ATMega chip to run the TCP/IP stack for you...
