Yet Another Educational Robot Acquisition
Summary
Students can attach and program them to perform a variety of tasks, like moving to spinning and flashing lights. Modular Robotics was founded in 2008 with a National Science Foundation grant to build an earlier version of Cubelets. Spun off from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Modular began manufacturing and shipping the robots in 2011. Dexter was founded in 2010 by John Cole in his kitchen where he designed, assembled and shipped kits by hand, according to the company’s website. Cole funded an idea to connect Lego Mindstorms and the Raspberry Pi single-board computer through a Kickstarter campaign.
