Introducing the Bluetooth Trade-up Program

By: Modular Robotics

We’re giving away free stuff!  Allow me to explain.

We’re getting close to making the one millionth Cubelet.  Something about that number, that order of magnitude, has really given us pause and encouraged us to focus on the total life cycle of a Cubelet including where they end up in the end.  Cubelets are made of plastics and metals and magnets and circuit boards, and they shouldn’t end up in the landfill.  Especially a million of them.

We do a lot of Cubelets re-use, like repairing broken Cubelets and using them in our demonstration kits, and now we’re trying to get really good at recycling Cubelets.  We’ve got a great set of tools for disassembling Cubelets.  Much of the material, like plastic, is efficient to recycle, while some, like circuit boards, we’re storing for a while until we figure out the best approach to dealing with it.

There’s a Cubelet type out there, the old Bluetooth Cubelet, that is probably not bringing joy to a lot of people.  It was hard to use and dropped connections a lot, so we replaced it with the totally awesome Bluetooth Hat in 2018.  The Bluetooth hat uses BLE so it pairs and re-pairs automatically, and it’s lightweight so doesn’t cause power brown-outs and disconnections, whether you’re on Mac, Android, Linux, iOS, or Windows.  We thought it’d be a great idea to give a new Bluetooth hat to people who have old Bluetooth Cubelets.  We’ll be able to properly recycle the old Cubelet, and someone who supported us early on could get a free upgrade that makes Cubelets feel new again.  There’s some amazing new Cubelets software coming soon, and you’re going to want a Hat to be able to play…

We’re calling this the Bluetooth Trade-up Program.  We’ve allocated 100 new Bluetooth Hats; we’ll ship one to you if you’re among the first hundred people to claim yours here (THIS PROGRAM HAS EXPIRED) and then send us your old Bluetooth Cubelet.  One per customer, USA only.  Have at it!
