The LEGO® BOOST Bricks

The LEGO® BOOST Bricks are the electronic components that make your BOOST models come to life! They include the Move Hub, the Colour and Distance Sensor and the External Motor.
 

Move Hub

The Move Hub is the "brain" of your LEGO® BOOST model. It contains two motors with tachometers, the BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) connections with your tablet, two input and output ports, a six-axis tilt sensor and a multicolored light. Also in the Hub is the battery compartment for six AAA batteries and the green “on” button. It receives firmware updates wirelessly as long as your tablet is connected to the Internet, so you'll always have the latest features available!

You can use rechargeable AAA batteries, but it's important to follow the instructions on how to recharge them properly. Rechargeable batteries should never be charged while in the LEGO® Move Hub.
 

Colour and Distance Sensor

The Colour and Distance Sensor is how your BOOST model can pick up information from the world around it. It can sense both distance (how far from an object it is) and different colours that are placed in front of it. It can also be used as a motion detector or just as a light, enabling you to choose between four different light modes: red, green, blue, and a combination of all three.
 

External Motor

The External Motor has the same functionality as the motor in the Move Hub, but as a detachable unit. It allows you to create models that you couldn't make with just the Move Hub on its own!
