The present invention provides for a plurality of interconnectable modular members that may create a pathway system with multiple entrances into the upper portion of each member and at least one exit from the lower portion of each member, thereby providing for a variety of convergence and divergence possibilities. The pathway system is suitable for receiving and transporting marbles and other spherical objects from one member to another. The modular members may be interlinked via male/female connectors to create a variety of configurations.

An automated runway loop including a u-shaped runway, wherein the runway is configured to support an aerial projectile with the runway having a discharging end and a receiving end. The runway has a support attached to the runway and to a motor capable of extending and retracting the runway along an axis. At least one sensor is positioned along the runway and configured to provide at least one output indicative of at least one parameter of the aerial projectile. A computer is connected to the sensors and the motor, the computer controlling energization of the motor based at least in part on an indicated parameter of the aerial projectile, where the energization of the motor causes the aerial projectile to be discharged from one end of the runway and to be received at the other end of the runway.

A method of operating a marble run includes providing first input through a user interface to a wireless device. The method further includes using the wireless device to transmit a first wireless control signal to a wireless receiver disposed on a marble run responsive at least in part to receiving the first input. The marble run includes a plurality of physically interconnectable marble run modules, each module configured to retain a marble and guide the travel of the marble through the module on at least a first surface. The plurality of marble run modules includes at least a first controllable module. The method further includes using the first controllable module to alter a travel path of a marble through the first controllable module responsive to the wireless receiver receiving the first wireless control signal.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a driving toy and a playing device using same, the driving toy being provided with auxiliary wheels for guiding the driving toy to travel along a track, and capable of travelling on various tracks by allowing the auxiliary wheels to be installed by changing the positions thereof according to the type of tracks.

An improved toy vehicle playset contains a base, a tower, a launcher, and a housing structure. The tower may be equipped with a track disposed around the tower. An interactive object may be moveably coupled to the tower and equipped with a mechanism that is repositionable between an engaged position, where the mechanism is engaged with the track of the tower, and a disengaged position, where the mechanism is disengaged from the track of the tower. When in the mechanism is in the engaged position, the interactive object may descend the tower along the track. When the mechanism is in the disengaged position, the interactive object may descend linearly or fall along the tower without following the track. The launcher may be configured to launch toy vehicles at the interactive object to actuate the mechanism to be repositioned from the engaged position to the disengaged position.

A stackable track assembly and method for stacking a booster and/or track frame is disclosed. The stackable track assembly includes a base, a track portion disposed in the base, and a frame extending out of the base and laterally across the top of the base. The stackable track assembly further includes a tab and slot for laterally coupling two track assemblies. The stackable track assembly further includes a receiving member and engagement member for vertically and/or laterally coupling two track assemblies. In some implementations, the track assembly may include a booster for accelerating a toy vehicle.

A driving guidance system that provides a driving guidance to a driver when the driver makes operations to remotely control a vehicle in a driving route. The driving guidance system includes at least one driving guidance equipment, an analytic engine, a control platform. The driving guidance equipment is distributed along the driving route for recording data of the vehicle. The analytic engine receives and analyzes the data of the vehicle to generate a plurality of features of the vehicle. The control platform further includes a real virtuality objects generator and a display. The real virtuality objects generator generates a plurality of real virtuality objects based on the features of the vehicle and the display shows the real virtuality objects to the driver of the vehicle for providing the driving guidance.
