![]() ![]() Moving ahead with the Powered UP platform development we will design elements for different model and product purposes. Wouldn’t it have been possible to incorporate more than 2 outlets in the battery box? For many applications more than 2 options would’ve been great (especially technic, eg cranes where you need one motor each for rotating the crane, raising/lowering the hook and moving the hook) It is offering a more intelligent wired connection with broader usability, a wireless BLE connection with better possibilities than IR and link to mobile smart devices opening a new range of App connected possibilities. The Powered UP platform is being designed to replace the Power Functions platform. Seeing that this new system has also been incorporated into the App-Controlled Batmobile set for the DC Comics SuperHeroes theme upon its debut, has Powered Up been designed in mind in any way to be more easily utilized by many other themes than before with Power Functions? Current products using elements from the Powered UP platform are: WeDo 2.0, Boost, CITY Trains, DUPLO Trains and the App controlled Batmobile. The wireless connection is both used between physical Powered UP elements and to mobile smart devices. ![]() This new platform has 2 main connectors: The new plug used for wired connections and a wireless RF connection using Bluetooth LE. Powered UP is the name of the new LEGO electronic building platform. Is “Powered Up!” the collective name for all things electric with the new connector (and thus includes Boost and WeDo 2.0), or is “Powered Up!” just the name for the new train engines and the ones in the new tumbler? We hope this will clarify and answer a lot of the questions and concerns in the AFOL Community. We asked the Ambassadors of the Recognized Communities to bring all those questions to us and below you have the answers to all those questions. With the launch of the new Powered Up system in the LEGO Train 6018 a lot of questions surfaced in the AFOL Community. Kim Thomsen, of LEGO, worked with fans to gather questions, and to research answers. With the release of the new LEGO City trains, driven by the new Powered UP system, fans had many questions. ![]()
