How does KUBO work?

KUBO can read the RFID microchips embedded in the TagTiles. When you put KUBO on a TagTile, it will read the chip and perform the action that the icon on the TagTile shows. With the TagTiles you can make routes, functions, loop, and other coding concepts. Watch our video tutorials to see how to code with KUBO.

How do I turn KUBO on and off? #

To turn KUBO on, attach the head to the body. To turn KUBO off, pull them apart. If KUBO is assembled properly, it will make a little sound and turn green. When KUBO’s head is taken off, the lights in the eyes will turn off.

Do I need an internet connection to use KUBO?

No. KUBO and its TagTiles are completely screenless and do not require an internet connection to work. You only have to make sure to charge KUBO once in a while with the charging cable from the KUBO Coding Starter set.

How long will KUBO run for? #

What is the lifespan of the robot? #

KUBO is a robust product that can last many years (At least 5 years) if taken good care of. The robot has high-quality motors that are capable of powering a 3D printer if needed, why it will last for many years. Furthermore, the product has passed standard drop tests. The only component that will wear is the battery. However, this component has an expected lifespan of 4000 hours, whereafter it will continue to work, but may not hold the charge for the full 4 hours.

What happens if KUBO is dropped? #

KUBO has passed all standard drop tests and is resilient, but applying excessive force or dropping KUBO onto a hard floor may cause damage. If KUBO is damaged, you can contact your local supplier for replacement parts.
