Electric bricks Brixotoys

​

They are different bricks, very similar to those of Lego that you know well but have the particularity of being provided with electrical components bringing various functions:

• The magnet brick contains a powerful magnet to operate the proximity sensor
• The luminous brick contains 2 multidirectional LEDs for the double direction
• The engine brick contains an electric motor
• Battery brick contains a 9V battery, controllable by Bluetooth and preventing any short circuit
• The sound-sensitive brick allows you to turn on / off the current to the sound of the hand clap
• Proximity sensor will only work if it detects a magnet brick nearby
• The light sensor brick will only switch the current when the light is darker
• Finally, you can find the Brixotoys basic bricks 1x2, 2x2 or 1x4 but which have the particularity of running the power

You will have understood the creative possibilities are endless and you can now power your basic Lego constructions with many elements Brixotoys that will react to sound or light thanks to the electric power running inside.

It is not negligible to clarify that the bricks are controllable in bluetooth, directly on your smartphone thanks to an application!

Brixotoys for schools and individuals 

It is a very interesting point of this novelty, it can suit both schools and individuals.

Schools increasingly use Lego as Mindstorms or Lego Wedo 2.0 in classes with students. Brixotoys is a great way to add scheming extra features for students and so new exercises to make their imagination work

This is even more true for individuals, as the number of non-motorized Lego models to build is important. It is a must-have Christmas gifts and Brixotoys electric bricks will allow updating and giving new experiments. A good way to turn these toys into toy robots for children.
