Moss Robotics: The Easy, Dynamic Robot Construction Kit

What would you build if you could easily create a robot like using Legos? Let your creativity flow. Moss Robotics provides simple, fun, magnetic robot construction kits with no coding or wires. 

Work on MOSS began in 2010 as a research project funded by grants from the National Science Foundation and the ASEE. To build robots, you just combine magnetically-coupling modules together in different configurations. Color coding guides users of each module's function, including a distance sensor for basic awareness. Modular Robotics is already hand-assembling its kits in a factory in Boulder, Colorado. Supporting their $100,000 Kickstarter campaign will let you get the kits earlier.

Moss Robotics: The Easy, Dynamic Robot Construction Kit

Modular Robotics began at Carnegie Mellon University in 2008, producing distributed robot construction kits. Early funding from the National Science Foundation led to the development of Cubelets, launched in 2011. Venture capital financing enabled the building of a manufacturing facility in Boulder, CO. It currently has 40 employees.
