The invention refers to a model car configured to travel on at least two different paths comprising one path and at least one other path, the model car comprising a) a car chassis (1) having at least three wheels (102, 105) rotatably mounted thereto and a tensionable spring mechanism (101) in a rotary connection to at least one of said wheels (102) for driving said at least one wheel (102), wherein the energy stored in said tensioned spring mechanism (101) is used to drive said at least one drivable wheel (102) and to propel said model car standing on a surface, b) at least one of said wheels (105) embodied as a steerable wheel articulated in respect to the car chassis (1) about a steering axis (104) wherein articulation of the at least one steerable wheel (105) is effected by means of a steering gear (3), c) a deflection mechanism (2) which is operatively connected to the spring mechanism (101) in such a way that part of the energy stored in the tensioned spring mechanism (101) is used to steer the at least one steerable wheel (105) during propulsion of the model car, and d) a coupling/decoupling mechanism (217) operable from outside the model car, functionally arranged between the spring mechanism (101) and the steering gear (3) and configured to switch a steering function of the at least one steerable wheel (105) thereby switching travel of the model car between the one path and the at least one other path.

An educational gaming system includes control cards, road pieces and a robotic device. Each of the control cards has a graphic corresponding to an instruction. The road pieces are arranged to form a road on which the robotic device is configured to move. The robotic device is communicable with an electronic device that executes an application program. The electronic device captures an image of the graphic of the control card, conducts a machine learning algorithm based on the image to obtain the instruction, and transmits the instruction to the robotic device. The robotic device obtains a road-piece signal value that is generated by scanning one of the road pieces, and performs movement based on the instruction and the road-piece signal value.

A toy vehicle is enabled to rotate or turn down a gradient, leading with the end of the vehicle having the greatest tendency to slide or translate laterally. The steerable toy vehicle is enabled for interactive play on a play surface dynamically oriented by the user.

Systems and methods for stabilizing the steering and throttle of a radio-controlled (RC) vehicle are described herein. More specifically, sensors and circuitry are configured to control the wheel speed and wheel direction of a RC vehicle based on rotational information. In operation, one or more sensors may be configured to receive angular rotational information associated with a rotation of the RC vehicle. The rotational information may define a rotation of the RC vehicle around one or more axes of the RC vehicle. The circuitry may be configured to receive the angular rotation information associated with the rotation of the RC vehicle from the one or more sensors, and control a wheel speed and/or a wheel direction of at least one wheel of the RC vehicle based at least in part on (i) command data received from a controller associated with the RC vehicle and (ii) the received angular rotation information.

A method and system for activating and canceling a first or second turn signal indicator for an R/C vehicle are provided. The method may include determining that the R/C vehicle is stationary and reading a rotation of a steering input to a stationary activation threshold. In addition, the method may include activating the turn signal indicator on a side of the R/C vehicle and setting an active turn signal indicator to on. Further actions in the method may involve determining that the R/C vehicle is in motion and reading a rotation of the steering input to a moving initiation threshold. Still further actions may include reading a rotation of the steering input in another direction to a moving cancellation threshold and deactivating the first or second turn signal indicator and setting the active turn signal indicator to off.
