Abstract
The present invention is an apparatus for control of toys. Preferably, the present invention is a remote control apparatus for guiding toy vehicles on a roadway. Most preferably, a remote control hand unit is employed that is most preferably optoelectric. The hand unit includes a plurality of direction keys that transmit signals from the hand unit based on their electronic interconnection with a directional light transmitter in the hand unit. The hand unit transmits directional commands to control movement of a toy vehicle through the intersection of a roadway. These control commands are directionally transmitted via a modulated signal that is received by a sensor adjacent the roadway.
