The Anki Drive starter kit includes two cars equipped with optical sensors, wireless chips, and motors.

Not a lot of processing happens in the Anki car itself—a base station iPhone or iPad running the Anki app interprets data, plans out the car's strategy, and sends control information back.

The cars come with heavy-duty plastic cases that double as charging cradles, connecting via micro-USB to the Fast Charger.

According to Anki, a full charge takes 8 to 10 minutes and provides 20 minutes of high-speed action.
