We’ve taken all we’ve learned from Anki DRIVE and applied it to the next level of robotic battle-racing, Anki OVERDRIVE and Anki OVERDRIVE: Fast & Furious Edition.

It’s been a great run, but at this time, there are no plans to update Anki DRIVE any further. Any new devices or Android OS versions released after September 2015 are untested and unsupported.

REQUIRED TO PLAY
Anki DRIVE Starter Kit (contains 2 cars, Race Track, Fast Charger & Tire Cleaner)

GAME DETAILS
Part toy, part video game, all-out high-speed family fun! Anki DRIVE is a battle-racing game the whole family can enjoy on any floor in in your home. Roll out the track mat, download the app, and battle with real robot cars.

Compete with up to four Anki DRIVE cars per game, in two exciting game modes: Battle Mode and Race Mode. In Battle Mode the first car to score a set number of takeouts, wins. In Race Mode it’s an all-out fight to the finish line. Each human-controlled car requires a dedicated Android device, and cars not connected to a device can be set to steer and fight for themselves. So, challenge your friends to a head-to-head battle, or see if you have what it takes to beat a self-controlled robot car!
