Abstract:
1. A novelty system for attaching to a vehicle, said novelty system comprising: (a) a first housing designed to resemble a front or a head of a mascot and a second housing designed to resemble a back portion or a tail of the mascot; (b) at least one first strap disposed on the first housing for attaching the first housing to a front of a vehicle and at least one second strap disposed on the second housing for attaching the second housing to a rear of the vehicle; (c) a first microprocessor, a speaker, and a first receiver each disposed inside the first housing, the speaker and the first receiver are each operatively connected to the first microprocessor, wherein the first microprocessor comprises a memory component programmed with a plurality of sounds; (d) a second microprocessor, a motor, and a second receiver each disposed in the second housing, the motor and the second receiver are each operatively connected to the second microprocessor, the motor functions to cause the second housing to move or rotate; (c) a remote control, wherein a first housing button for controlling the first housing and a second housing button for controlling the second housing are each disposed on the remote control; and (f) a third microprocessor and a transmitter each disposed in the remote control, wherein the transmitter, the first housing button, and the second housing button are each operatively connected to the third microprocessor; wherein third microprocessor is configured to receive a first input signal from the first housing button when the first housing button is pressed, wherein upon receipt of the first input signal, the third microprocessor is configured to generate a first output command to the transmitter to cause the transmitter to emit a first transmitter signal to the first receiver; wherein the first microprocessor is configured to receive a first receiver input signal from the first receiver when the first receiver receives the first transmitter signal from the transmitter, wherein upon receipt of the first receiver input signal the first microprocessor is configured to generate a speaker output command to the speaker to cause the speaker to emit a sound; wherein the third microprocessor is configured to receive a second input signal from the second housing button when the second housing button is pressed, wherein upon receipt of the second input signal, the third microprocessor is configured to generate a second output command to the transmitter to cause the transmitter to emit a second transmitter signal to the second receiver; and wherein the second microprocessor is configured to receive a second receiver input signal from the second receiver when the second receiver receives the second transmitter signal from the transmitter, wherein upon receipt of the second receiver input signal the second microprocessor is configured to generate a motor output command to the motor cause the motor to move the second housing.
