A unique blend of hardware and software, Cubelets make it easier than ever to explore robotics, coding, and other big ideas. Create Little robots for building big imaginations. Cubelets robot blocks make it easy for builders of nearly any age to imagine, craft, and invent countless robot constructions. Make Just like building blocks, only smarter. 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. Reinvent Tactile coding. Cubelets make the principles of programming easy to learn and practice. Cubelets’ special combination of software and hardware means that as you build a robot you build a program. It’s hands-on coding! How Cubelets Work- SENSE, THINK, ACT. 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 robot construction. The yellow Brick Adapters connect to LEGO® and other brick building- block toys. App Enhanced Robot Play- Introducing the Bluetooth® Hat. 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. Here's what you get in the Discovery Set

A fully charged Battery Cubelet can power up to 6 hours of playtime. Recharge the Battery using the included Micro-USB cable. When fully charged, the amber light on the Battery Cubelet will turn off.
