Review: Awesome, intuitive toy for learning robotics - My 5 year old boy loves this! I can really see it teaching him systems thinking skills. The idea of the toy is that each different cube performs a different function. When you pair different cubes together, you make different sorts of robots. The instructions were very clear and simple, with pictures. It only took a couple minutes to get him going. And I loved that it came charged so he could get right to playing. The blocks themselves are sturdy and have very satisfying clicks when they attach together. He lit up as he figured out how to make it do new things. I could see him intuiting the logic of it all. We LOVE the Lego aspect. There’s a block with Lego studs on it that you can use to build your own legos off of. My son really enjoyed turning the blocks into monsters with this feature. After getting this toy, he’s been exploding with creative ideas for different “inventions” both related to this particular product, as well his other toys and craft materials. He’s always been a tinkerer and has always had an engineer’s mind, but I think it’s really kindling the fire in him. It’s great for anyone with an existing interest in this area, but also anyone who wants to spark a new passion, because it’s so simple and fun.
Review: Cubelets discovery set. Spark curiosity and creativity in young minds - The Cubelets Discovery Set is a fantastic introduction to the world of robotics and STEM learning for young children. It Worked great for my 5 yo son, and the brightly colored, magnetic blocks are easy for small hands to snap together. This intuitive design allows him to focus on his creativity and experimentation. The set includes several Cubelets, each with a unique function: a Drive Cube for movement, a Light Cube for illumination, a Sound Cube for making noises, a Battery Cube for powering creations, etc.. Using the app on a tablet or smartphone, you can program simple sequences of actions for their robots, introducing them to basic coding concepts in a fun way. The Cubelets come alive with lights, sounds, and movement, making the learning process engaging and rewarding. Overall, the Cubelets Discovery Set is an excellent choice for introducing young kids to coding and robotics. It fosters creativity and critical thinking keeping them away from TV’s or social media.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many blocks does it come with?**
A: Hello,

Thank you for your interest in Scientifics Direct. This set includes 1 brightness cubelet, 1 flashlight cubelet, 1 drive cubelet, 1 distance cubelet, 1 battery cubelet and 1 Bluetooth® hat. Also included are 2 brick adapters for brick-based constructions and 1 micro-USB cable for charging your Battery. 5 Cubelets all together. 

Thank you

**Q: I have twin boys with two iPads. If I bought two sets, are the Bluetooth ids different? Can they be run independently from different iPads?**
A: Since the Cubelets Bluetooth Hat utilizes BLE, there is no need for different Bluetooth IDs. You will not need to pair the Bluetooth Hat in the settings of the device, you can simply open the Cubelets Discovery app and hold the Bluetooth Hat attached to the Battery Cubelet close to the iPad and it will pair automatically. While not needed for pairing, each Bluetooth Hat does have a unique 3 color sequence that it flashes when first connected to the Battery Cubelet tell the two Bluetooth Hats apart. 

Once paired, there won't be any interference between the two separate iPads and Cubelets robot constructions. If your twins are playing in close proximity and both detach and re-attach their Bluetooth Hats at the same time, it is possible that they can "trade" who is controlling which construction. In that case, the Bluetooth Hat will pair to the closest iPad. It only takes a few seconds for the Bluetooth Hat to re-pair, so this problem should not arise unless they detach and re-attach the Bluetooth hat at the same time. If it happens, they can just detach the Hat again and make sure to hold their construction close to their individual iPads.

**Q: what functions does each cubelet have?  The 6 set has a drive, flashlight, distance, brightness, passive, and battery.  What do these 4 cubes do?**
A: Each Cubelet is categorized as either a SENSE, THINK, or ACT Cubelet. The Distance and Brightness are SENSE Cubelets that measure the distance from the sensor and light in the room respectively. The SENSE Cubelets communicate their reading to the ACT Cubelets, the Drive (wheels) and Flashlight (LED) which act upon that information the sensors are taking in. The Passive Cubelet, a THINK Cubelet, passes along information between the SENSE and THINK Cubelets and helps you to build out your robot. Some THINK Cubelets, like the Inverse (no included), will alter the data from the SENSE Cubelets as it passes through.

**Q: Is this compatible with the other set “ modular robotics cubelets robot blocks - new curiosity set ($249.95)?**
A: Yes! All Cubelets are compatible with each other- the older sets and newest sets still talk and work well together.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Product!
*by E***N on May 8, 2024*

Ok these were recommended to me for my kid from a coworker. I was a little hesitant to buy them because of the cost however after receiving the product and giving them to my son it is totally worth the cost . I did not have a lot of knowledge on what you can do with Robot blocks until I started doing research after they were recommended to me for my son. Come to find out these are actually priced pretty decently compared to other brands- some kits go for over 400-600 dollars! Long story short I gave them to my son and he did not put them down all weekend - literally . He had so much fun creating things and learned so much . He wanted to take them to school to show his friends! They are packaged well and a very neat concept. Worth every penny and beats my kid watching tv or playing video games on rainy days etc. Would definitely buy again (other sets) and recommend!
