Modular Robotics Distance Cubelet

Description

The Distance Sense Cubelet by Modular Robotics is an individual magnetic block that is capable of sensing how far away it is from objects located in front of it using infrared (IR) light. It is able to accurate sense objects between 10cm and 80cm away. On its own it is simply a smart magnetic block but when combined with additional robotic Cubelets will add the ability for the robot to not run into objects located in front of it. This Cubelet is an accessory for use in expanding your Modular Robotics Starter and Standard kits. The Brightness Cubelet is part of the Sense family of Cubelets which are robotic blocks that act as inputs. These Sense Cubelets act similarly to how eyes and ears do for us and cause the robots they are part of to react based upon what they do and don't sense in the their surrounding environment.
