The Lego universe is much more vast and complex than we can imagine. The official sets the company offers are truly wonderful, but sooner or later we end up working with loose bricks, and the best part is inventing something different each session. The Brickit app aims in that direction with a recognition system that suggests new building ideas based on an analysis of available bricks.
Visiting the official Lego page is a painful exercise. From the Atari 2600 model to the Nintendo NES, through Star Wars sets, the ECTO-1 from Ghostbusters, and the Discovery space shuttle, the truth is we want everything. Some Lego enthusiasts have invested a lot of time and money in this universe (the current cost of all sets exceeds $2.2 million), and the most important consequence is... an excess of bricks.
What can we do with them? The best part is simply throwing them on the table and starting to build, but there is another alternative in the form of Brickit. This development invites us to reuse Lego bricks to create new models and figures, and all we need is a compatible iOS or Android device.
Brickit: "New tricks for old Lego bricks"
That's the phrase Brickit uses in its promotional video. The first step is to dump the pile of Legos on the table and take a photo. Brickit's algorithm will identify the available bricks, and with that information present a series of models to build immediately, along with precise instructions and a fast brick-locating system.
Another positive aspect is that Brickit also allows partial construction of models (in case a specific brick is missing) so you can improvise or combine different projects. Once the figure is finished, Brickit recommends sharing it on its official page, Instagram, and TikTok for other users to reproduce with their bricks. Brickit offers free editions, but those interested in detecting more bricks and receiving more ideas can subscribe monthly.
