LEGO is a toy that invites imagination, allowing kids to build their own space ships and airplanes and fly them in imaginary playscapes, but the new Flybrix drone lets kids fly a LEGO toy in real life. The programmable toy is built almost entirely from LEGO bricks, making it durable and easy to replace for kids who push it to its limits.
Ordering the Flybrix drone, kids will receive a set of LEGO as well as the scant extra pieces necessary to make it fly -- like a small motor, propellers, a flight control circuit, and peripherals like batteries and USB cables -- as well as a quick start guide. Kids can then use these materials to build progressively more complex drones, adding LEGO or incorporating their own parts as they see fit.
