Distance Cubelet

The Distance Cubelet detects how far it is from an object. It uses infrared light and is accurate between 10 and 80 cm. The sensor is directional, so it outputs the distance to the object in front of the sensor. At 10cm, the block will output values near 1, and toward 80cm it will output values near 0.

What you can do with the Distance Cubelet.

Build robot constructions that respond to the world around them. Create a maze-solving robot construction or edge detecting robot. The Distance sensor is one of the most popular sensors available. Swap its Personality in Cubelets Console to unlock even more building possibilities.

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.
