I was so happy to see Modular Robotics at CES. They’re the makers of Cubelets, a modular robotic construction kit for kids that we’ve posted about before. Here at CES, they’re showing off their kits and Emily Plage was happy to give MAKE readers a demo. In the video above, she shows us a few of the cubes and the robots they’ve created with them. They have a new Bluetooth module which lets you control the bots with an Android phone or reprogram them via PC. They’re even showing a 3D-printed prototype of an adapter so that Cubelets can be used with Lego bricks.

Cubelets look like they're the perfect toy for kids that are old enough to be interested in robotics and electronics but not old enough to understand an H bridge: The cubelets standard kit comes with 20 magnetic blocks that can be snapped together to make an endless variety of robots…
Last year at CES, I got my first hands on with Cubelets by Modular Robotics. This year, they're back with the more advanced MOSS Robot Construction System.
Cubelets are a robotic construction system from Modular Robotics. Using color coded cube modules, a maker can create a robot from snap together pieces that contain sensors, logic circuits, or "actions". When attached together, the modules communicate via i/o built into the connector. Cubelets seem like they'd be the perfect…
