Create your own race track with Doodle Track racers. All you need is a marker and your imagination.
I remember playing slot cars when I was a kid. My brother and I even went so far as to buy dad a track for a Christmas Present. Course, he knew we bought it for ourselves, but he was good natured enough to go with it and play with us anyway. Thing about Slot cars, though, is that the racetracks are very basic – left turn, straight away, left turn straight away – maybe a figure 8. And after awhile, they get harder and harder to put together because the track pieces begin to bend and fail. If only there was a way to race those kind of cars and make any track we wanted … we.., that’s the beauty of Doodle Track. All you need is a piece of paper, a black marker, and your imagination, and blammo, you’re racing … anyway and anywhere you want.
The concept is simple. You use a heavy black marker to draw a line in any direction you want. The more paper you have, the longer the race track. The Doodle Track has optical sensors in the bottom that read the black line and keep the car on track.
And kids can even race more than one Doodle Track car by making more than on track line. And with the exception of going up walls, the sky is literally the limit as to where you can race Doodle Track.
