Light sensors are a fundamental robot building blocks.  This Cubelet is a hat because it’s two dimensional, with only one connector instead of the five on the Brightness Cubelet.

Let Cubelets feel the light. Detecting shifts from bright to dim, this single-pixel sensor enables your robot to react to a beam of sunlight or creep into the shadows. The Brightness Hat adds a dash of light-sensitivity for endlessly illuminating Cubelet creations.

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 Cubelet Personalities.

Cubelets are little robots, programmed to behave a certain way. Personality Swap lets you change any Cubelets 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.
