My kids love the race tracks, Overdrive. I'll be looking to scoop up some stuff on clearance.

  Will it still work when the company shuts down?

  Honestly the toys they made are good, however they are all app/cloud connected. I hope the tracks keep working...

    Makes me wonder how much of the logic was in the cars themselves. I'm guessing not much. Might be a fun weekend project to try to hack though

      The car's on-board processor has enough logic to follow the track lines hidden under the track surface. The BTLE connection to the car is used to control speed, change lanes, and trigger lights. It also is used to 'drive' the car in some cases if needed.

  Interesting, our experience was exactly the opposite. I got the kids a set for Christmas (maybe 2016?), and I don't think we ever got it to do anything interesting. I could never tell if it was charging, phone, app, interference, or something else related. Maybe we just got a dud.
