Comment on You can’t replace the battery in Lego’s Smart Bricks — and many of its sensors aren’t available yet

Isn’t the “Lego” part kinda just the batter casing with bumps on it, though?
Just for conversation sake. I don’t think disposable legos are cool or anything.

Check out jerryrigeverything’s video on it. It’s pretty neat. It’s basically just a microcontroller with a battery, nfc coils, charging coils, and sensors. So you place it near other parts of the set and it makes interactive sound effects and lights up and stuff. It recharges with a wireless charging pad and honestly will probably last 10 years+ before the battery degrades meaningfully.

This all sounds like what I described. Yeah.
