A cruise control system and method for a model vehicle are provided. The system may include a transmitter having a throttle input to produce a throttle command and a cruise control set input. The system includes a receiver for receiving the throttle command and a speed controller for providing a motor command to a motor of a model vehicle. The speed controller provides a motor command based upon the throttle command at a point when the cruise control set input is activated. The method for providing cruise control for a model vehicle includes receiving a throttle command from a throttle input and activating a cruise control set input. The method may include recording the throttle command as a cruise control throttle input at a point when the cruise control set input is activated and sending a motor command to a motor while the cruise control set input is activated.

A toy includes a vehicle body having a front portion and a rear portion. A pair of rear wheels is coupled with the rear portion and located on the vehicle so as to at least partially support the rear portion. A first electric motor is drivingly coupled with the at least one rear wheel. There is a pair of front wheels coupled with the front portion and located on the vehicle so as to at least partially support the front portion. The wheels have two sets of 3-dimensional spokes act as a level of shock absorbent freedom of rotation and a freedom of translation thereby to absorb kinetic energy from an impact force.

The remote-controlled pet chase toy comprises a chassis and a body. One or more front wheels on the chassis are remotely steerable and one or more rear wheels may be driven by a drive motor on the chassis. The direction and velocity of the remotely-controlled pet chase toy may be controlled from a remote location via wireless signals sent from a remote control to a transceiver on the chassis. The wireless signals are passed from the transceiver to a control unit modifying the overall operation of the steering servo, drive motor, and a camera. The body may resemble an animal that would interest the pet. As non-limiting example, the body may resemble a squirrel, rabbit, or mouse. The camera may provide images of the area in front of the toy to the remote control to allow the remote driver to avoid obstacles.

A wheel assembly for use on a toy car includes a roller defining an axis of rotation, a wheel portion connected to the roller. The periphery of the wheel portion an at least partially sticky surface, which includes a blank portion without a tendency to stick.

An improved toy system is disclosed herein. In one aspect, the toy system includes a toy vehicle that can be uniquely identified. The toy vehicle includes a wireless tag that contains identifying information that is unique to the toy vehicle. In another aspect, the system includes a toy vehicle reader that can identify a toy vehicle that is proximate to the reader. The toy vehicle reader can wirelessly communicate with the tag, and in particular with a chip on the tag, on the proximate toy vehicle. In one embodiment, the toy vehicle reader utilizes Near Field Communication (NFC) technology to read the tags on vehicles.

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.

The disclosure relates to a story machine, a control method and control device thereof, a storage medium and a story machine player system are provided. The story machine includes circuitry configured to detect movement indication information for indicating a first movement path of the story machine; control the story machine to move along the first movement path based on the detected movement indication information; detect play indication information for indicating multimedia information; control the story machine to stop moving in response to detecting the play indication information; and play the multimedia information based on the detected play indication information.
