Details

Cubelets robot blocks make it easy for builders of nearly any age to imagine, craft, and invent countless robot constructions. Cubelets are little blocks of software inside little blocks of hardware. Each Cubelet has a special function, so how you assemble your robot changes its behavior. Every combination is a new creation.

Cubelets make the principles of programming easy to learn and practice. Its special combination of software and hardware means that as you build a robot, you build a program. It’s hands-on coding!

Each Cubelet has a special function and belongs to one of three categories: SENSE Cubelets take in information from the robot’s environment. THINK Cubelets compute and change that information, and ACT Cubelets turn that information into a physical action. Cubelets’ magnetic faces make them simple to snap together and pull apart. Connect at least one SENSE, THINK, and ACT Cubelet to create a functioning robot construction.

The Bluetooth Hat pairs robot constructions with mobile devices. Simple, proximity-based pairing makes connecting easy. Cap your creations with the Bluetooth Hat to add new abilities using the free Cubelets app. The Cubelets app is your portal to the software blocks inside each Cubelet. Remote Control manipulates individual Cubelets to change the behavior of an entire robot construction. Easily switch and swap the software blocks inside your Cubelets. Use Personality Swap to change a Cubelet’s code with the touch of a button. Switch a Drive Cubelet to spin backwards, or turn a Flashlight Cubelet into a disco-blinking wonder. Reinvent your robot play with Personality Swap.
