Drivers, start your engines!!? Or your smartphones in this case... This is a pretty cool idea of you ask me. With the Overdrive Kit by Anki, you race real (toy) cars on a special mat, and control them with your phone. Oh did I mention the cars are SELF AWARE!!?!

This feels very SkyNet, but let's continue anyway...

"Each Supercar is a self-aware robot, driven by powerful artificial intelligence (A.I.) and equipped with deadly strategy. Whatever track you build, they'll learn it. Wherever you drive, they'll hunt you down. The better you play, the better they become. Whether you battle A.I. opponents or friends, your tactical options are unlimited."-source

How cool, if you don't any friends available to play with you can play the AI- which gets harder to beat the more you play... The track is totally customizable, and as you earn points from winning, you can virtually apply upgrades to the car in your app- which will then apply to the real life racer!

I love this because it merges the physical and digital worlds in a way that's not gimmicky, the digital just enhanses the physical experience, and encourages a real world social element instead of kids just stuck with their faces in their phones.
