Hot Wheels and Rocket Leaguedeveloper Psyonix teamed up to create a Rocket League RC car set that includes two smartphone-controlled cars, a game ball, and an arena that knows when you've made a goal and keeps score. The Hot Wheels Rocket LeagueRivals RC Set is coming this fall.

The set's two cars, an Octane and a Dominus from the video game, can be controlled with an app on a smartphone or other smart device. The ball, which looks like the ball from the game, has an infrared signal so the goals and scoreboard can keep track of points. It even comes with a charging base for the cars that looks like a boost pad from the game.
