Device allowing radio controlled vehicles to play tag

Abstract

The invention relates to a series of radio controlled vehicles or objects used to play the popular game of tag. Each vehicle or object used to play tag is specially built to contain a means of disabling the vehicle when tagged. In one series the tag zone is positioned in the rear bumper. The second series contains 3 tag zones on the vehicle. The third series contains multiple tag zones on the object being used. Competitors race their vehicles or objects around a contained area trying desperately to tag their opponents in each of the tag zones located on their challengers' vehicles, while trying to avoid from being tagged themselves. Vehicles with multiple tag zones require the competitors to tag each tag zone with their front bumper. The opponent's vehicle will not be disabled until all the tag zones have been tagged in any random sequence. Zone lights will indicate which zone has been tagged. When the last zone light is activated the vehicle's engine is shut down. Once a vehicle is disabled he/she is out of competition until a winner is decided. The vehicles that are knocked out of the game are disabled until each vehicle is reactivated to enter a new game.
