This cubelet displays the block's value as a light-up bar graph. The value is normalized to the number of points on the bar graph so that a maximum value results in a fully-lit bar graph.
Cubelets are magnetic blocks that can be snapped together to make an endless variety of robots. You can build robots that drive around on a tabletop, respond to light, sound, and temperature, and have surprisingly lifelike behavior. But instead of programming that behavior, you snap the cubelets together and watch the behavior emerge like with a flock of birds or a swarm of bees.
Note: Cubelets require a special battery and charger. You will need to purchase the charger separately.
If it requires power, you need to know how much, what all the pins do, and how to hook it up. You may need to reference datasheets, schematics, and know the ins and outs of electronics.
Skill Level: Noob - You don't need to reference a datasheet, but you will need to know basic power requirements.

OMG. How expensive these things are for what they do. Ingenious, but it appears you need to fork over 100s of dollars to make anything useful.
I agree. A very ingenious idea but expensive. I counted 20 cubes in the opening part of the video, that is, what at least $500?
I think they did the math on the KT06 Kit page. :)
If they were just a lot cheaper... I'd buy tons.
Neat but more of a toy for kids to get interested in electronics or engineering.
