What other things should Vengit (The SBrick guys) produce?

[Saberwing40k]

I'm sure most of you guys know of Vengit, the producers of the SBrick. I was thinking, since they already make the SBrick, a PF compatible element that Lego itself would never produce, maybe they could eventually expand their lineup to include more things? If they did so , what would you want them to make?

I'd like to see some adapters, to connect various other batteries to the PF system, like a cable that would go from a common 7.2v RC batter to a PF plug, or a snap for a 9v battery, or even a system that plugs into the wall, like the old train speed regulator. Also good would be some small motors, and a proportional switch.

Also along these lines, would it be a good thing if Lego endorsed this kind of thing, like they did for certain Mindstorms sensors?

Hm, interesting question. I think guys from Vengit should create a console joystick-like device for smartphones which paired with SBrick. For example, follow the link:

A simple basic remote for the Sbrick for people who doesnt want a smartphone or a tablet. Maybe two analogue thumbsticks for 4 functions and a button which let the remote jump from Sbrick to Sbrick to steer an other model.

and yes, lego should become a distributor for Sbrick

Open SDK/API for Sbrick, just to have cheap Mindstorms analogue via any SOC solution, like Raspberry Pi :)

First of all, kudos to Vengit for identifying the weakest link in the PF product family and creating a very strong product to replace it. It was by far the thing i most wanted see improved in the PF lineup. I don't think there are any similar big weaknesses in the PF lineup, therefor i would prefer them sticking with the Sbrick, making it an even stronger product. They still have a lot of exciting plans for the Sbrick which i look forward to seeing realized.

I think they should create the LR (Large Race) motor; it would be the PF reincarnation of the buggy motor. I wish they would do this :drool: :drool:

I second the idea! Make a buggy motor V2!

I reckon, let them get on with shipping v1 (non beta) SBrick, they have £88k of kickstarter funds (plus whatever other investment), and (I assume) a growing salary bill to pay. v1 hardware won't be 100% reliable, products never are, so they'll end up re-engineering some things, and they also have to keep developing the software and working to build a community. So they have plenty to do eh?

If they do anything that in any way infringes TLG stuff, they've got a legal problem, and (unlike fan-produced parts), they have what could be a valuable business which is worth TLG suing.

OTOH it would be nice to think that TLG would see Vengit as a partner who has produced an interesting PF addon.

You should write those things in the Sbrick forum here:
