Cubelets - Building Blocks of Robotics

Forget your old alphabet blocks, Modular Robotics Cubelets are magnetic blocks that can be snapped together to make an endless variety of robots with no programming and no wires. Combining sensor, logic and actuator blocks, young kids (and adults) can create simple modular robots that can exhibit surprisingly complex behaviour.

You can build robots that drive around on a tabletop, respond to light, sound, and temperature, and have surprisingly lifelike behavior. But instead of programming that behavior, you snap the cubelets together and watch the behavior emerge like with a flock of birds or a swarm of bees.

There are 15 different Cubelets available now, and the company has got a more configurations in the pipeline. They plan to release new models through their website.  Who knows, maybe there will soon be Cubelet competitions too.






Cubelets are now available for pre-order.
