Moveable toy with corresponding audio and visual outputs

This is a toy designed to be pushed by a user across a surface. As the toy moves, a sensor detects its motion, triggering a visual display to show different colored lights and an audio system to play sounds that describe what the lights are showing. The toy can also produce additional sounds via a separate button.

Why it matters: In 2003, integrating motion sensing with synchronized audio and visual outputs required more expensive and bulky components. Today, microcontrollers and integrated motion sensors are vastly cheaper, smaller, and more powerful, making such a toy much more feasible and cost-effective to produce.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateMotion sensor, microcontroller, display, speaker, software logic
