Abstract
Description
Claims (5)
- Device for recording and reproduction of speeds applicable to a competition game of miniature vehicles guided through lanes fed with electric current, designed to play against a vehicle commanded by the machine according to a sequence of speeds associated to a sequence of voltages previously recorded, essentially characterized in that it incorporates a series of digital analogical convertors (1) associated to the lanes (2, 2') of the track which transform the sequence of voltages corresponding to the speeds of the vehicles on track for some defined time interval and digitalizing and sending them to a CPU (3) which deals with the received data, they are recorded in a permanent storing memory (4) and has available a coupled outlet control unit (5) through which the recorded sequence of voltages corresponding to the fast turn or another sequence proportional according to a definite algorithm are reproduced on the lane (2), producing the movement of a vehicle in this lane (2) with proportional speed to the voltage in each moment, against which the player/s compete/s with another/other vehicle/s located in another/other lane/s (2').
- Device for recording and reproduction of speeds applicable to a game of competition of miniature vehicles guided through lanes fed with electric current according to the previous claim characterized in that it incorporates, associated to each one of the lanes (2, 2'), some passing detectors (6) on the finishing line which inform the CPU (3) when a complete turn has been performed with the object of treating the data received by the digital analogical convertors (1) in that turn, and send the signal so that the system can record a new sequence of data corresponding to the following turn.
- Device for recording and reproduction of speeds applicable to a game of competition of miniature vehicles guided through lanes fed by electric current according to claim 1 characterized in that it incorporates some current detectors (7) associated to each one of the lanes (2, 2') which detect the lack of current in one of the lanes by stopping the button or outlet of the vehicle of the lane (2, 2'), sending the signal of restarting for the new sequence of data.
- Device for recording and reproduction of the speeds applicable to a competition game of miniature vehicles guided through lanes fed by electric current according to claim 1 characterized in that it incorporates a feeding control unit (8) of the lane of the player that has a relay which allows to feed the lane after the count- down of the starting of the race and allows the functioning of the button of the user, producing at the same time the sequence of stored voltages on the lane of the vehicle of reference commanded by the CPU (3).
- Device for recording and reproduction of the speeds applicable to a competition game of miniature vehicles guided through lanes fed by electric current according to claim 1 characterized in that it has available associated to the CPU (3) a data tracing screen (9) in relation to the number of turns, passing times and other data, and a keyboard (10) for the entry of training number of turns regulation data and others.
