Overview
What is the CUBELETS Twelve Kit?
The CUBELETS Twelve Kit, manufactured by Modular Robotics, is an introductory robotics set built around 12 magnetic robot blocks. Each block is a tiny robot in its own right, and they fall into three families: SENSE blocks that read the world (distance, brightness, a knob input), THINK blocks that process and route signals (such as Inverse, Blocker, and Passive blocks), and ACT blocks that do something (Drive, Rotate, Flashlight). Students build working robots simply by snapping blocks together — the magnetic faces handle all the wiring, so a robot comes to life without a single line of code or a tangle of cables.
The Twelve Kit ships with everything needed to start building: 12 robot blocks, a Battery Cubelet for continuous play, a Bluetooth Cubelet that pairs to the Cubelets app for block-based (Blockly) coding and remote control, a Micro-USB charging cable, and two Brick Adapters so the robots connect to LEGO and other brick construction sets. The kit is preloaded with the Cubelets operating system and backed by a one-year warranty, with unlimited online access to lesson plans, activities, and robot recipes. It is designed for learners ages 4 and up, with curriculum mapped most closely to grades 2 through 8.
RobotLAB offers the CUBELETS Twelve Kit as an authorized reseller. Because this kit is quoted rather than fixed-priced on the RobotLAB store, pricing is provided on request and can be bundled with curriculum, multi-kit classroom configurations, professional development, and ongoing support. RobotLAB sells, leases, and services robotics nationwide, so the same team that supplies the hardware can help a district scale from one kit to a full classroom deployment. Call 1-87-RobotLAB for a quote or to talk through which Cubelets configuration fits your program.

How it works
CUBELETS Twelve Kit in detail
K-12 STEM and computer science classrooms
The Twelve Kit gives one or two students a complete, screen-free introduction to robotics and computational thinking. Because robots are built by arranging SENSE, THINK, and ACT blocks, students experience cause-and-effect programming physically before they ever touch the Blockly app over Bluetooth. RobotLAB pairs the kit with Modular Robotics' free standards-aligned lesson plans (Pre-K through 12) and can quote multiple kits to outfit a full classroom.
Makerspaces, libraries, and museums
Hands-on, fast to set up, and impossible to wire incorrectly, the Twelve Kit is well suited to drop-in maker stations and exhibit programming. The Brick Adapters let visitors extend builds with LEGO, and the magnetic snap-together design means learners of widely different ages can succeed at the same table. RobotLAB supports these settings with quoting, configuration, and warranty service.
Special education and early learners
With an age-4-and-up design and no reading or typing required to build a working robot, Cubelets are a strong fit for special education and early-childhood programs. The tactile, immediate feedback of a robot that drives or lights up reinforces sequencing and logic concepts for diverse learners. RobotLAB can advise on quantity and curriculum fit for inclusive classrooms.
Home and enrichment / camp programs
For families, after-school clubs, and summer camps, the Twelve Kit is a self-contained robotics experience that grows with the learner — from snap-together builds to app-based coding via the Bluetooth Cubelet. RobotLAB provides a single point of contact for purchasing, restocking, and adding expansion packs as a program matures.

Questions & answers
About the CUBELETS Twelve Kit.
-
Do students need to know how to code to use the CUBELETS Twelve Kit?
No. Robots are built by snapping the magnetic blocks together, and the SENSE, THINK, and ACT blocks handle the logic physically — no wiring or coding required. When you are ready to go further, the included Bluetooth Cubelet connects to the Cubelets app for block-based (Blockly) coding and remote control. For help choosing the right starting point, call 1-87-RobotLAB.
-
What exactly comes in the Twelve Kit?
The kit includes 12 robot blocks, a Battery Cubelet, a Bluetooth Cubelet, a Micro-USB charging cable, and two Brick Adapters for LEGO compatibility, plus a one-year warranty and free online lesson plans. Distributor listings detail the block mix as 2 Drive, 1 Rotate, 1 Flashlight, 1 Brightness, 2 Distance, 1 Blocker, 1 Inverse, 1 Passive, 1 Bluetooth, and 1 Battery. Contact RobotLAB at 1-87-RobotLAB to confirm the current configuration.
-
What age group is this kit for?
Cubelets are designed for ages 4 and up, and this kit's curriculum maps most closely to grades 2 through 8. The full library of lesson plans spans Pre-K through 12, so the same hardware supports a wide range of learners. RobotLAB can help match quantity and curriculum to your grade band — call 1-87-RobotLAB.
-
Why does the price say 'Request a quote' instead of a fixed price?
RobotLAB lists the CUBELETS Twelve Kit as a quoted item so it can bundle curriculum, multi-kit classroom sets, professional development, and support to fit your program. To get current pricing and availability, request a quote on the product page or call 1-87-RobotLAB.
-
How is the Twelve Kit different from the Twenty Kit?
The Twelve Kit includes 12 blocks and is the lighter-weight starter, while the Twenty Kit steps up to 20 blocks with a broader mix of ACT and THINK blocks (including Speaker, Bar Graph, Minimum, Maximum, and additional Distance and Inverse blocks) for richer builds. Both are quoted at RobotLAB. Call 1-87-RobotLAB to compare and decide which fits your classroom size.
-
Can Cubelets connect to LEGO?
Yes. The Twelve Kit includes two Brick Adapters (a stud adapter and a socket adapter) that let the robot blocks attach to LEGO and other compatible bricks, so students can extend their builds. For questions on expanding a build out, reach RobotLAB at 1-87-RobotLAB.
-
Can RobotLAB help us outfit a whole classroom, not just one kit?
Yes. As an authorized reseller, RobotLAB can quote multiple Twelve Kits or recommend larger educator packs, and can bundle curriculum, training, and ongoing support and warranty service nationwide. Call 1-87-RobotLAB and the team will scope a configuration for your class size and budget.
