Age 4 and up. Cubelets® Six is an exploratory set of Cubelets® Robot Blocks. Using the Drive, Battery, and Distance Cubelets® in this set you can build robots that turn upon command, come toward you, or run away. Free K-12 lesson plans include topics such as teamwork, robotics, sensing, data collection, engineering design, and animal behavior.

Age 4 and up. Cubelets® Six is an exploratory set of Cubelets® Robot Blocks. Using the Drive, Battery, and Distance Cubelets® in this set you can build robots that turn upon command, come toward you, or run away. Lesson plans for K-12 are freely available at www.modrobotics.com and include topics such as teamwork, robotics, sensing, data collection, engineering design, and animal behavior.

Set includes:

• Drive Cubelet: Contains a motor and roller wheels for moving on a horizontal surface. It only moves in 1 direction and moves faster with higher input values.
  
• Flashlight Cubelet: Emits a focused beam of light from a powerful white LED. Light becomes brighter with higher input values.
  
• 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.
  
• Brightness Cubelet: Detects the amount of light hitting its sensor. It has an analog photocell that responds to varying light conditions (values are near 1 in front of a bright light).
  
• Passive Cubelet: A basic building block that carries power and data from its neighbors. It does not move, sense, or change incoming data in any way.
  
• Battery Cubelet: Provides the energy required to make robots spin, drive, and squawk. It charges with a micro-USB.
  
• Brick Adapter: Connects Cubelets® to LEGO® bricks (LEGO® bricks not included).
  
• Micro-USB Charging Cable: Charges your Cubelets®.

These Cubelets® run on Cubelets® OS 4.
