Definitions

  • play area 12 is rectangular, and therefore so is floor 14.
  • the floor is preferably a flat and hard surface such as concrete. It is also preferred that the entire play area be enclosed to prevent the game piece from leaving the play area, and also to provide additional game play strategies which may involve purposefully playing the game piece off the wall. Therefore, walls 40 preferably include four sides in embodiments which have rectangular play areas, and as many sides as necessary to enclose play areas of other shapes.
  • wall skirt 18 which terminates in wall bumper 20.
  • joystick 62 is the preferred method of vehicle movement control, other methods may also be acceptable. These other methods may include, but are not limited to a trackball, touch pad, computer style mouse, or electronic keypad. Movement control support 58 may also include a variable height mechanism so that a player can adjust the movement controls to a desired height.
  • Each of the faces also preferably has at least one goal indicator.
  • Indicator light 90 can be triggered to illuminate during various events during game play, particularly when a goal is scored. Other events that may trigger indicator light 90 illuminating may include the start or end of a game.
  • Indicator light 90 is preferably a LED or a group of LEDs. They may be any color, but are preferably colored to correspond with the color of the team that is trying to score in the goal that the indicator lights are located on. In some aspects, the teams are trying to score in goals that have indicator lights of the opposite team's color. In other aspects, the indicator lights are colors that do not correspond to either team.
  • Figure 14 illustrates another embodiment of game 10 wherein an ellipsoidal game piece, such as football 100, is used instead of bali 36.
  • This embodiment does not require the players to use scoops 34, since the ellipsoidal game piece is thrown and caught with the player's hands.
  • Figure 15 shows a further embodiment in which goal 16 is replaced by backboard 114 and hoop 112 for a style of game play similar to basketball.
  • goal 16 is replaced by backboard 114 and hoop 112 for a style of game play similar to basketball.
  • a preferably large spherical game piece is used, such as beach ball 110.
  • players carry scoop 34 in one hand and maneuver their vehicles with the other hand via a movement control device.
  • the movement control device is preferably located centrally between the left and right sides of the vehicle. If it is centrally located then a player can use either his left or right hand to operate the vehicle. This is preferred as it accommodates people with left or right hand dominance, and it also allows a player the option to quickly switch hands while driving, which may advantageously free up their other hand for more effectively or strategically playing the game.
  • Wall bumper 20 is also connected to skirt 18 which is shown cross-sectional Iy in Figure 2b. The wall skirt is sloped at angle 48 below the horizontal so that balls can not get stuck up against the walls.
  • motor 92R has a higher forward output than motor 92L, which causes wheel 96R to travel faster, thereby turning the vehicle.
  • motor 92L has a higher forward output than motor 92R, which causes wheel 96L to travel faster, thereby turning the vehicle.
  • the wheel on the inside of the turn may rotate in reverse so that the vehicle essentially rotates in place.
  • both motor 92L and 92R move at the same rate of speed so that the vehicle does not turn.
  • the motors both operate at substantially the same speed, but they do so in a reverse direction, causing the car to move backwards.
  • U7 (comprising a plurality of flip-flops) further divides the 4.88 MHz signal from the divide-by- three module to a 38.5 KHz signal for infrared and to a 150 Hz signal for audio within the game.
  • the infrared signal can be used for a "laser tag” aspect of the game where individuals cars can “tag” one another by “laser” IR devices, as in well-known laser tag games.
  • the speed of the offending player is set to a maximum of one-half or one-third of full speed for a given period of time.
  • the offending player will again travel at normal speed.
  • a personal message may be sent to the individual who committed the penalty through speakers which are on-board the player's vehicle. The message may detail what penalty the player committed, as well as informing the player that he or she is now at one-half speed or that a point has been awarded to the other team.
