Product Review
The Blocker Think Cubelet by Modular Robotics is an individual magnetic block that is used to block communications from adjoining Cubelets while still effectively passing power to them. On its own it is simply a smart magnetic block but when combined with additional Cubelets it allows you to grow your robot while still keeping a data barrier between modules you don't want talking to one-another. This Cubelet is an accessory for use in expanding your Modular Robotics Starter and Standard kits. The Blocker Cubelet is part of the Think family of Cubelets which are robotic blocks that calculate and do math or computations. These Think Cubelets act as the brain of your Cubelet robots giving them the ability to intelligently figure things out and disperse the information on to the rest of the Cubelets.
- THE BUILDING BLOCKS FOR IMAGINATION AND EDUCATION. Cubelets are small, autonomous robot cubes used for teaching basic robotics and programming for kids ages 4 and up
- Each robot cube falls into one of three categories: SENSE, THINK and ACT. Connect three or more Cubelets robot blocks from each category to create a programmable robot. Kids can also change their Cubelets programming with our Personality Swap function, available in the Cubelets app or from the dashboard
- NO CODE COMPUTATIONAL THINKING. The Blocker Cubelet is a basic THINK building block that “blocks” data from its neighbors. It still passes power, but effectively stops communication and can insulate one side of a robot from another
- The Blocker robot cube makes it easy to have different parts of your robot construction respond to different data sources. Build steering robots when you combine the Blocker Cubelet with two Drive Cubelets. It can also be personality swapped with any other THINK Cubelet using Cubelets Console
- Already in use in thousands of classrooms, Cubelets STEM kits are both fun and educational, fostering the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills through hands-on engagement for kids as young as 4 years old
