Apple invited robotics company Anki on stage at the WWDC to show off its connected toy car game, Drive. It controls physical toy cars around a track with your iOS device. iFixit just got their hands on them and decided to find out what's underneath.

The cars are actually little Bluetooth controllers where it's handled by a basic ARM Cortex-M0 Multipoint Control Unit chip with 64kbytes of flash memory. It has a 48MHz CPU. The chip will control the motors.

Anki Drive will have several different kinds of cars which come with their own powers and skills, and what's most impressive is that most of the hardcore computation is actually done on the device you're using to control it. [iFixit]
