What you can do with the Brightness Cubelet.

Create robot constructions that respond to light. Build a little robot that can follow the sunlight as it moves about the room. Build a little robotic-cockroach that runs whenever the lights turn on. Swap its Personality in Cubelets Console to discover all sorts of new ways to play.

One block, many behaviors.

It's a building block.

First and foremost, Cubelets are robot blocks. That means they're robots that are also building blocks. You can create with Cubelets without any coding – which is why they're perfect for nearly any age or skill level. The robot construction's behavior is a result of what you connect and how you connect it!

Swap its Personality.

Cubelets are little robots, programmed to behave a certain way. Personality Swap lets you change your Cubelet's programming with the touch of a button. It's no-code, tactile, computational thinking for builders 4 and up. Available in the Cubelets App or in Cubelets Console.

See the data inside.

Explore how 256 numbers create every Cubelets robot behavior you see. Use Data Logger in Cubelets Console to visualize your robot's data in real-time. Log the data and for deeper analysis.

Code with Blockly.

Every Cubelet is a little robot you can program. Use Cubelets Console (a free web app) to build your own Cubelet behaviors with simple drag-and-drop coding.

Code in C.

Get complex. Cubelets Console also includes a C programming environment. So you can code teams of robots that behave like bigger robots. Meta robots.
