I think it's very cool but I wouldn't pay that much for it. Reminds me a bit of the Sphero, and like that I imagine I'd get bored rather quickly.
I'd be more keen if you weren't limited the the mat they ship with it. It'd be pretty cool to be able to set up circuits anywhere using gates or something. No doubt the cost of the cars would go through the roof with the number of sensors they'd likely need to make it all work well and ensure cars not only could avoid obstacles and navigate the track, but also retain spacial awareness of where each car is in relation to the other.
Maybe in a few years.
