Abstract: A ride-on vehicle is provided that has drive and spin functionalities. The ride-on vehicle comprises a first motor for a first drive wheel, and a second motor for a second drive wheel. The vehicle has a steering wheel having a go selector and a spin selector. A sensor obtains an output of the angular rotation location of the steering wheel. A controller is electrically connected to the first and second motors, the go selector, the spin selector, and the steering wheel sensor, wherein engaging the go selector and turning the steering wheel causes the vehicle to move forward, left or right, depending on the angular location of the steering wheel, and wherein engaging the spin selector and turning the steering wheel causes the vehicle to spin left or spin right, depending on the angular location of the steering wheel. The vehicle may also be controlled remotely by a remote control.

Abstract: A rocket launching system is provided for being able to repeatedly launch a toy rocket. The rocket launching system has a launch base with a pressure chamber. The pressure chamber has an inlet and an outlet. A launch tube is connected to the launch base adjacent the outlet of the pressure chamber. A rocket slidingly engages the launch tube for launching therefrom. A carrier is provided for supporting a pressurized gas container. A carrier transfer mechanism is provided to move the carrier from a first position to a second position to place the pressurized gas container in fluid communication with the pressure chamber. A vent pin engages the pressurized gas container connected to the carrier when the carrier is in the second position to release the pressurized gas into the pressure chamber.
