I don't recall exactly when but i tried this same app at least a year or two ago. I was super excited but results it gave was kinda underwhelming. But again this was a while back. Hopefully it improved quite a bit because i really like this idea.
Brickit is many years old at this point, and many newer competitors are available. Here's a megalist of Lego classifier Computer Vision apps and models <a href="https://github.com/360er0/awesome-lego-machine-learning">https://github.com/360er0/awesome-lego-machine-learning</a> And here's photos of legos sorted by value <a href="https://www.webrick.com/all-bricks-pieces.html?p=2&product_list_dir=desc&product_list_order=price" rel="nofollow">https://www.webrick.com/all-bricks-pieces.html?p=2&product_l...</a>
Last time I tried it, it was ios only and the projects it suggested were pretty simple. I found that just building something was more enjoyable every time.<p>It's a neat idea though
This is a great app and inspires our kids to use the lego more. It also, like any manual, does not need to be followed exactly. It really is a great use of computer vision and I personally have used lego more since we got this app.
This is the opposite of what lego is good for.<p>Why scan a pile of Lego and suggest projects, when you can also have a robot build those projects for you?<p>In fact, why not 3D print a finished piece designed by AI?<p>You still get the fun of cleaning up mold lines for the AI, unless they build a robot for that.
I was turned off by the subscription model. No way I would use this frequently enough to pay for a subscription. And I have a 9 yo who plays with legos every day.
