ABSTRACT:
A ball game includes a generally horizontal playing floor on which vehicles of two different teams are operated by players. Each vehicle includes wheels for supporting the vehicle on the floor, and for guiding the vehicle, a power source for causing the vehicle to move, a seat on which a player sits, and a crank-like steering mechanism to enable the player to guide the vehicle. Positioned at opposite ends of the playing floor and above the floor are targets which, when struck by a ball, produce a visual or audible signal. The game includes a ball and each player has a scoop by which he can catch the ball or throw it to one of his teammates or toward his team's target.
