Remote control game system with selective component disablement
First Claim
1. A remote control game system, comprising two or more game sets, each game set having one or more remote control vehicles and an associated control console, each of the remote control vehicles having:
- a vehicle body;
one or more offensive components mounted with the vehicle body, each of the offensive components operable to communicate at least one offensive signal;
a plurality of sensors mounted with the vehicle body, each of the sensors located at a different area of the vehicle body and operable to detect an offensive signal thereupon and, in response thereto, generate a hit signal received from an offensive signal from a second source separate from the vehicle; and
one or more drive components (a) responsive to commands from the control console, to move the vehicle body and operate the offensive components and (b) responsive to the hit signal,wherein the hit signal will degrade operation one of a particular one of the drive components and the offensive components while leaving operation of another one of the drive components and offensive components unaffected, based upon the location of the sensor generating the hit signal.

Abstract
A remote control game system comprises two or more game sets, each game set having one or more remote control vehicles and an associated control console. Each of the remote control vehicles comprises: a vehicle body; one or more offensive components mounted with the vehicle body; each of the offensive components operable to communicate at least one offensive signal; one or more sensors mounted with the vehicle body, each of the sensors operable to detect the offensive signal, and in response, to generate a hit signal; and one or more drive components. The drive components are (a) responsive to commands from the control console, to move the vehicle body and operate the offensive components, and (b) responsive to the hit signal to degrade operation of one or both of the vehicle body and offensive components.

17. A computer readable medium storing a software product comprising instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by a computer, perform steps for selectively disabling components of a first of at least two remote control vehicles, each of the vehicles having movement capability and firing capability comprising:
-
instructions for determining when one of a plurality of sensors on the first vehicle receives a hit from an offensive signal from a second vehicle; and instructions for degrading one of the first vehicle movement capability and the firing capability, based upon a location on the first vehicle of one of the plurality of sensors receiving the hit, while leaving the other of the first vehicle movement and firing capability unaffected. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)
