TL;DR
- Several sensors on Lego Smart Bricks, including sound, ambient light, position, and orientation, are disabled in the initial sets.
- Lego plans to enable more sensors through future products and software updates.
- The Smart Bricks feature working NFC readers and motion sensing, with a color sensor that detects red, green, and blue.
- Currently, only one multi-brick interaction exists: when one starfighter or turret blasts, others register a 'hit' and 'explode'.
- The bricks have small 45mAh batteries that are not user-replaceable and offer around 45 minutes of active play.
- The Smart Bricks go into sleep modes to conserve battery and require specific actions to wake or deep sleep.
- It is difficult to access the battery without damaging the device, and Lego recommends proper disposal of the entire brick.
