A toy vehicle includes a chassis, wheels connected to an exterior of the chassis and configured to move on a surface, at least two propellers connected to an interior of the chassis independently from the plurality of wheels, the at least two propellers being configured to counterrotate relative to each other thereby generating airflow outwardly from the chassis in a first direction that is normal to a rotational plane of the at least two propellers whereby the chassis is urged in a second direction opposite the first direction against the surface, at least one first drive motor operatively connected to the plurality of wheels for driving the plurality of wheels, and at least one second drive motor operatively connected to the at least two propellers for driving the at least two propellers.

A control system for a vehicle using a primary three axis orientation sensor and a reference three axis orientation sensor spaced apart from the primary sensor. At least one auxiliary control can be used for thrust. A wearable processor can be configured to receive the primary sensor signal and the reference sensor signal. The reference sensor signal can use a conditioning formula and the wearable processor can filter the conditioned signals using a Kalman filter. The filtered signals can form merged signals and apply operator configurations on wrist reference locations to the merged signals. Operation commands can use the merged signals to control the vehicle with four channels of control to a transmitter that communicates with the vehicle.

A board game is disclosed that includes at least two remote-controlled figures moving on a game board. Each of at least two remote-controlled figures moves to knock over an opponent's building models situated at predetermined build sites on the game board. A method of playing the game is also disclosed that includes: each player selecting a remote-controlled figure and a plurality of building models; situating each remote-controlled figure at a predetermined start site on the game board; situating the building models at the plurality of predetermined build sites on the game board; and moving each remote-controlled figure to knock down an opponent's plurality of building models.

A monitoring terminal includes a transceiver, a receiver, and a processor. The transceiver provides a two-way communication with an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) via a first communication link and is configured to receive feedback data and a feedback data indication from the UAV and transmit control data to the UAV. The receiver is configured to receive the control data and a control data indication from a controlling terminal via a second communication link. The second communication link does not interfere with the first communication link. The processor is configured to determine whether the feedback data and the control data are being simultaneously transmitted via the first communication link based on the feedback data indication and the control data indication.

Devices, systems, and methods of enhancing the gameplay of a toy are disclosed herein. For example, the toy can be a remotely controlled vehicle that includes a radio frequency identification (“RFID”) reader, configured to detect signals generated by a plurality of markers with RFID tags. Each marker of the plurality can be arranged such that the markers define a course for the remotely controlled vehicle. Certain markers can be designated as a starting line, a finish line, and “special,” which would enable programmable and variable gameplay features and actions of the remotely controlled vehicle. The remotely controlled vehicle can be communicably coupled to a mobile computing device configured to receive and process signals from the vehicle, display metrics associated with the gameplay, enable immediate functioning of special tag features, display metrics, and generate control codes transmitted to the vehicle, which control certain features in accordance with the programmed gameplay.
