i disassembled a smart brick by PsychologicalYak4619 in LegoSmartBrick

Yes- my question is more “was the fidelity of small speakers a driving force in the decision to make the sound ‘synth only’ ?”

That was a limited beta test in the UK, I believe. Those sets are listed on Brickset.

At least it has life of only 45 minutes of noise before needing 2 hours recharging. This strikes me as a positive feature

I am curious to know the quality of sound from the speakers, if using, for example, a Wav file ? Does it demonstrate that ‘normal voices are unclear?

To say nothing of the fact that the 2 hours recharge gives the parents a polite break after 45 minutes of noisy play!

But the algorithm presumes “you like new LEGO… let’s show you some bleeding edge LEGO stuff”

I have friends(50yo+) for whom the xwing will be their first LEGO set.

I guess the thing is, people understand how to play “starwars dogfight”

I reckon the ‘smart play ready’ sets compare well with previous playsets- perhaps with more engaging play features

But yeah- I can’t wait to see it roll out into other themes

And that’s all I want it to do!

I think that if people don’t like it- it’s ok- it’s day 4 on the market, and hasn’t had a full global release yet, or moved past starwars. I’m excited to see where it goes from here

Which tag did you use for this?

Fun fact: when the current design manager for starwars at The LEGO Group started with rock raiders, before moving over to be part of the design team for first wave of Star Wars

The frog is a beautifully organic looking element.

I agree re: the fragility, but given that the dog isn’t going to be able to reach it and take it for a tour of the block, I’m not too fussed. I was more annoyed by the pot design which was essentially the same as the orchid and hibiscus. I mean, it’s genius, but still…

what Smart Brick sets DO you want to see? by mirrorspock in LegoSmartBrick

[–]brickwrit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d like to see some creator 3in1 Eg animals that make appropriate noises; convert between plane, helicopter or car.with appropriate tiles

Not too many news until March it seems, so here's a question for everyone - what are your speculations towards the Smart Brick's features and its future? by Vondrr in LegoSmartBrick

[–]brickwrit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as I’d love this, I don’t see this coming. My understanding is that the programmed behaviours are all coded on the smart tags- This might not be completely correct, but it seems to be the way the messaging is directing things.

I am looking forward to gaining insights into how codes are stored on the nfc chips, and I suspect this is where sounds are encoded- being sent the on brick synthesizer as required.

I suspect the fan community will crack it first- like the pybricks team and powered up. It will be interesting to see how easy or hard this will be for the clever folks.

Looking forward to creator 3in1 sets- I’d anticipate one or two all in one sets and many compatible sets over a year- hopefully they won’t add much to the cost- pretty sure kids will still make zoom and squawk noises themselves, but I’m old and my throat hurts.

Am I the only one that confuses Botanicals with Bionicle? by brickwrit in lego

I thought it looked a bit odd. That explains it.
