Each REV Starter Kit comes with two specially-equipped vehicles; just download the free app onto an iOS or Android smart device and jump into the driver seat, while setting the second REV to Autonomous Mode.  Square off against your REV opponent in multiple game modes like Chase and Evade and Capture the Flag, but be warned...Intelligence can be dangerous.
