<p>Connected toys have upped their game and are hitting the mainstream hard this holiday season. Sphero’s BB–8 (http://www.sphero.com/starwars), for example, charmingly enhances the earlier smart ball (http://www.macworld.com/article/2047002/review-sphero-2-0-is-a-brighter-faster-smartphone-controlled-ball-of-fun.html) design to give you a Star Wars droid of your very own. And now, Anki is back with a brand new release that massively expands 2013’s Anki Drive (http://www.pcworld.com/article/2086564/anki-drive-puts-self-driving-robot-cars-to-good-use-fun-and-games.html), its modernized take on slot cars.</p><p>If the name isn’t a dead giveaway, Anki Overdrive takes the previous experience to awesome new levels. Gone is the fixed track mat, which you’d unroll and then place the app-steered cars upon—now you can build your own custom tracks using pieces that easily snap together on the ground. And it’s expandable, with an array of add-on segments that allow you to execute the epic living room racetrack of your dreams.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3005262/ios-apps/anki-overdrive-review-robot-race-cars-are-as-cool-as-they-sound.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
