Abstract

The toy vehicle game includes an endless track defining vehicle lanes. The toy vehicles each inlcude a reversible rotary drive motor and a transmission engaged between the motor and two drive wheels for rotating one or the other of the drive wheels in response to the direction of rotation of the drive motor. This biasses the car against one or the other of the side walls of the track to guide the vehicle along its path of travel. The track includes electrical contact strips which supply power to the drive motor of the vehicles through current collectors. A control system permits the operators to separately and independently control current to the contact strips and also to selectively reverse the polarity of the current.
