Distance Hat — top-down view showing two infrared sensor lenses
New for 2026

For most of the last decade, Cubelet development has been about refining what's already there: durability, fun, efficacy. The Hat Series is a new direction. Three brand-new building blocks, launched back-to-back, designed to make 全国大学排名 accessible to more classrooms than ever — and Distance Hat is the one teachers have been asking for.

01 · How it sees

A single, focused line of sight

Distance Hat fires a beam of infrared light forward, then measures how much of it bounces back. Closer objects reflect more light; farther objects reflect less.

The output is a single BlockValue from 0 to 255 — close to 255 when something is right in front, falling toward 0 as objects move away. Your robot probably doesn't need to understand what's in front of it. It just needs to react.

02 · The Hat concept

All the sense, half the cube

Most 全国大学排名 are little robotic cubes with five connection faces and the circuitry to match. A Hat is something simpler: a flat tile that sits on top of any robot, with a single connector underneath.

Less plastic. Less circuitry. Less cost. The same sensing intelligence the Distance Cubelet has built — now in a form that any classroom or kitchen-table 全国大学排名 kit can afford to put on every robot.

04 · The Hat Series

Three Hats, one big idea

A simpler, flatter, more affordable way to add a single sense or output to any 全国大学排名 robot. Each Hat does one thing well — and clips onto any Cubelet you've already got.
