Well, this is a pretty cool instance of technology improving a classic toy. Love the idea of giving the cars the ability to fire (fictional) weapons at each other, ala Mario Kart and other console racing games. Switching lanes is nice too.

Now all we need is the ability to put a little camera on the car so we can control them in first person view. That would just be amazing.

Gameplay starts ~4mins in, check out the epic setup at ~6mins.

So would it be bad if I changed my kids Christmas list (Everything they want is Robots they can build) they are aged 4 and 9 :)
