Remote control game system with selective component disablement

This is a remote control game where players use vehicles to "shoot" each other. Each vehicle has a way to send an attack signal and sensors to detect when it's hit by another vehicle's signal. When a vehicle is hit, its movement or attack capabilities are degraded, making it harder to play. The claims specifically describe the attack signal as a light beam and the sensor as a light detector.

Why it matters: Filed before microcontrollers became widely accessible and cheap for hobbyists and small-scale manufacturing. The logic for degrading vehicle operation is now much simpler and more cost-effective to implement with modern embedded systems.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateRC electronics, light emitters, sensors, control logic
