Anki Overdrive: Fast & Furious Edition keeps it all about the cars. 

Ian Knighton/CNET

When I was a kid, I spent a lot of time racing slot-cars. That's why I was super-excited by the arrival of the Anki Overdrive a few years back: It looked like a modern, high-tech version of that beloved pastime.

Also when I was a kid, I loved robots. Because, duh: Star Wars! R2-D2! Who didn't want their own adorable little programmable tin can?

This brings us to today's giveaway, quite possibly one of my all-time favorites. The awesome folks at Anki have put together this sweet giveaway package:

Grand prize:

  • Anki Overdrive: Fast & Furious Edition
  • Nuke Phantom Supercar
  • Anki Overdrive Speed Kit
  • Cozmo Robot
  • Cozmo Carrying Case and Cozmo Treads

First runner-up prize:

  • Anki Overdrive: Fast & Furious Edition
  • Cozmo Robot

Second runner-up prize: 

  • Cozmo Robot

The new-and-improved Anki Cozmo is like your own little WALL-E.

Scott Stein/CNET

Yes, please! In case you're unfamiliar with Overdrive, it's an expandable racetrack with app-controlled cars. You can upgrade them, add virtual weapons and so on. It's really slick, and this Fast & Furious Edition is especially cool for fans of the movie series. Be sure to read CNET's preview for all the details.

As for the Cozmo, it's another geeky dream-come-true: a cute little programmable robot that's charming, interactive and even secretly educational. Read Scott Stein's Cozmo overview.
