18. A toy construction system comprising:
a function construction element including:
a control circuit; and
a transceiver in communication with the control circuit and operable for radiofrequency communication with other function construction elements, the transceiver configured to receive a control signal from other function construction elements;
a function device adapted to perform a user-perceptible output function; and
a tag construction element mechanically connectable to the function construction element, the tag construction element configured to automatically and wirelessly communicate data to the function construction element upon connection thereto,
wherein the control circuit is configured to control operation of the function device of the function construction element responsive to the data and responsive to the control signal.
