Wait, that 9V system doesn't exist anymore, including the conducting bricks? That system was pretty clever. You couldn't really create a short accidentally, no matter how you rotated the next block on top it would always conduct further. You needed to actually use one of those cords that hat a conducting brick on both ends to short it. What are they using today, if this was discontinued (according to TFA)?
- codys 4y agoThey use a custom plug system that doesn't use the standard brick shape as contacts. https://www.lego.com/en-us/themes/powered-up https://www.lego.com/en-us/themes/powered-up shows some examples of the connector and socket. There's also the discontinued "Powered Functions" connection scheme, which can be seen on this model: https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/power-functions-motor-set-8293 https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/power-functions-motor-set... . It appears to be post-brick contacts and pre-"powered up" connectors. There have been many electrical connection schemes over the course of lego's history.
