Not just a toy: Plans for tank-track robot Vernie (pictured), Frankie the cat, space rover MTR4, Guitar 4000 and an Autobuilder are included in the US$159 kit (RM710).

Introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show 2017, Lego Boost connects a WiFi-enabled Lego piece to Android or Apple devices.

That special Move Hub can interact with other motors and both colour and distance sensors, carrying out instructions prepared through a drag-and-drop app.
