Patent ID: 7753756

Claim:
An external positioning data linked radio controlled system for radio controlled vehicle (RCV) racing emulation, the system comprising: (a) an infield RCV control device for receiving externally generated positional data from remote race vehicles on a remote race course and locally input control signals from a user, the device having: (i) at least one input device for inputting the locally input control signals; (ii) at least one data processing unit connected to the input device; (iii) a memory connected to the data processing unit and having an electronically reproduced racecourse map of the remote racecourse stored thereon for computing an electronic boundary for RCV devices; (iv) an error correction circuit connected to the data processing unit for generating error correction signals; and (v) means for transmitting wireless local control RCV signals containing RCV position, speed and direction data based on processing the externally generated positional data, the locally input control signals, and error correction signals; and (vi) means for receiving the externally generated positional data; and; (b) at least one RCV responsive to the wireless local control RCV signals containing position, speed and direction data transmitted by said infield RCV control device, the RCV having: (i) means for receiving the wireless local control RCV signals containing position, speed and direction data transmitted by said infield RCV control device (ii) RCV control circuitry for controlling movement of the RCV in response to the received wireless local control RCV signals; (iii) a steering control sub-system connected to the RCV control circuitry; (iv) a motor control sub-system connected to the RCV control circuitry; (v) an independent power source connected to the RCV control circuitry.
