- Page 2 Each Cubelet robot must three conductors must connect with their have one Battery block which powers all the neighboring counterparts in order for two other blocks in the robot. Cubelets to communicate. Page 2 © Modular Robotics, 2016 www.modrobotics.com...

Accelerate your learning with a quick and easy https://youtu.be/YPAOCOJibfQ getting started video, watch it on YouTube. This guide is also available on the Modular http://www.modrobotics.com/ cubelets/cubelets-getting-started/ Robotics website! Page 3 © Modular Robotics, 2016 www.modrobotics.com...
- Page 4 Brightness Sense block? You get a Fraidybot or a Friendlybot depending on the way the wheels are positioned. By turning the Drive Action block so that the robot goes backward instead of forward, you’ll have a Friendlybot or Fraidybot. Page 4 © Modular Robotics, 2016 www.modrobotics.com...
- Page 5 Each Sense block produces its own number, so it doesn’t pass numbers from its The Flashlight Action block takes a number neighbors. and lights its lamp. A big number makes the lamp bright. A small number makes the Page 5 © Modular Robotics, 2016 www.modrobotics.com...
- Page 6 Turnabot. It’s not just which Sensor and Action blocks you choose. It’s also how you position and situate the Cubelets. The same Cubelets arranged in a different physical configuration make different robots. Page 6 © Modular Robotics, 2016 www.modrobotics.com...
- Page 7 Distance Sense block) arranged in a row. The Distance Sense block produces a big number when something gets near it. You can chase this Fraidybot around with your hand. When you get near the Fraidybot, it runs away. Page 7 © Modular Robotics, 2016 www.modrobotics.com...
- Page 8 If you turn the Distance Sense so it faces the opposite direction, it moves away. You can chase it around with your hand or change the direction of the wheels on the Drive Action Block. Page 8 © Modular Robotics, 2016 www.modrobotics.com...
- Page 9 Brightness Sense block. With a lot of light on the Brightness Sense block, all the Action blocks will act a lot. Without light on the Brightness Sense block, the Action blocks won’t do much. Page 9 © Modular Robotics, 2016 www.modrobotics.com...
- Page 10 We’d prefer a flashlight robot that turns on when it’s dark, and turns off when it’s light. That’s why we need the red Inverse Think block. Page 10 © Modular Robotics, 2016 www.modrobotics.com...
- Page 11 The Inverse Think block turns it into a big number, and the Flashlight Action block makes its light bright: A Nightbot that turns on in a dark room, and turns off in a bright room. Page 11 © Modular Robotics, 2016 www.modrobotics.com...
- Page 12 Action block will go, while the left side’s Drive Action block stays still (or goes slower). When one Drive Action block moves and the other doesn’t, or turns the other way, the Steeringbot turns. That’s called “differential drive steering.” Page 12 © Modular Robotics, 2016 www.modrobotics.com...
- Page 13 Distance Sense block produces a low number. The Bar Graph Action block takes both numbers and averages them. It shows a number that is halfway between the numbers it gets from its two Distance Sense neighbors. Page 13 © Modular Robotics, 2016 www.modrobotics.com...
- Page 14 An Action block acts according to the average of the Sense block numbers it gets, weighted by the distances (number of blocks from Sense block to Action block, or “hop count”) they’ve travelled. Page 14 © Modular Robotics, 2016 www.modrobotics.com...
- Page 15 It will take all the numbers its Sense block neighbors give it, and choose the smallest (minimum) of those numbers. This smallest number is what it will pass on to its Action block neighbors. Page 15 © Modular Robotics, 2016 www.modrobotics.com...
- Page 16 Rotate Action block, and on top of that, a Flashlight Action block that points outward (sideways). When you turn the Knob Sense clockwise (to the right), the light goes on and spins. Page 16 © Modular Robotics, 2016 www.modrobotics.com...
- Page 17 The Threshold Cubelet acts as an insulator, or blocker, of numbers below a value established by the Threshold knob. Numbers above the set Threshold value will continue to flow from block to block. Page 17 © Modular Robotics, 2016 www.modrobotics.com...
- Page 18 Sensor exceed the Threshold value, you’ll notice that the Bar Graph display will show values normally. You can adjust the Threshold Cubelet settings to create robots that respond suddenly or to build binary behaviors. Page 18 © Modular Robotics, 2016 www.modrobotics.com...

Page 19: Using The Bluetooth
Cubelets. Using the FREE Cubelets App you can control your robots with any iOS or Android device. With the release of Cubelets OS 4, Modular Robotics periodically releases firmware updates and new features via the Bluetooth Cubelet. http://www.modrobotics.com/cubelets/ bluetooth-getting-started/ http://www.modrobotics.com/...
