Some nutjobs will pull those apart and try to make some smart learning robot...

This guy is from Hod Lipson's lab, the point of this is to eventually make robots that assemble themselves from a mass of subunits. I think theyre trying to crowd source robotics research, pretty cool idea.

But if you want your kinds to improve their building skills and problem solving skills this is a great investment though I don't have kids lol.....

cool until i heard 160$ for 6 cubes

[iph0ne27]

True should have edited that part out "using customers money to manufacture" just say pre order for 160 for 6 blocks

[MrHatch1988]

Never say your borrowing your customers money to build more doesn't give good security for the future.

Amazing product but far too expensive to manufacture, and with that, the market will be only for rich billionaire's children; which isn't that big, thus the business will go out of of business....probably.
