Yeah, I was really expecting some Mindstorms-level magic when I saw the first announcement teasers.
Comment on You can’t replace the battery in Lego’s Smart Bricks — and many of its sensors aren’t available yet
leoj@piefed.zip 6 hours agoHA I’ve been so brainwashed by 2025 I see the word smart and stupidly assume AI.
Looks like its just sensors.
I actually think this makes it worse because it doesn’t really bring a whole lot to the table from a STEM-toy perspective, although I guess learning to utilize sensors could be good for some kids if there is any type of granular control.
I grew up with Lego Mindstorms, so it can definitely inspire.

I remember setting up Mindstorms to alert whenever a door was opened, so we could specifically stay up all night reading and know if our parents opened their bedroom door… Simpler times!

Yeah, I was really expecting some Mindstorms-level magic when I saw the first announcement teasers. The fact that it’s just an RFID reader with some LEDs is beyond disappointing.
