Congrats folks, looks super, now all I need is a kid :)
I really like the screen-free interface and I really love the subroutine option... Do you have one wheeling an infinite loop around the office?
@leewynne hope for the technology is to create more blocks that connect to more Primo Toys devices, or third party devices, like drones, more complex bots, smart-lights etc... The board can already cope with this expansion, but the challenge is finding objects and sets of instructions that children can connect to and manipulate in a meaningful way, rather than connecting to everything for the sake of IOT, so we're open for ideas.

Have you tested these with autistic and dyslexic children? I work with specially abled kids and have noticed that they are more adept at using gadgets than us. This looks like a great medium to improve their coordination and develop their mental abilities.
Will discuss with parents and try to pledge $195 so that we can get a sample here in India and test it with the kids.
@vishipedia Vishal, we have, we have a case-study form an inclusion classroom you might find of interest. I would say it works wonders, we have a lot of love from the community on the inclusion front, but i'll let you decide for yourself. if you go on www.primotoys.com/docs, you can download the case studies and have a look

Our kids will *love* playing with #Cubetto. It'll be their first programmable robot, and (I hope) will make programming easy and fun. Can't wait to help them play with it! :)
@billday Hey bill. Thank you! If there is one thing we're 100% sure of is children really enjoying the play that comes with it. Truth be told the adults enjoy it quite a bit too :)
I'm co-founder of Primo Toys. Cubetto is a wooden robot powered by a programming language you can touch. You drive cubetto around a map by writing programs using tangible blocks. It's inspired by the LOGO Turtles of yesteryears, but instead of just making the robot tangible, we made the coding part tangible, and screen-less. We've developed Cubetto specifically for an early years Montessori setting (3 to 6), and we're also super proud to have creates the first coding toy that sighted and non-sighted children can play with in the same setting.
We're looking for ideas on what else we could connect our tangible coding language and interface board to, our Kickstarter campaign funded yesterday, getting $100k in 17 hours, so we're already thinking of possible extension ideas. Thank you!

Great way to teach kids programming. We have a Beta unit & my daughter loves the Cubetto robot and having the power to make it move. I also love that it doesn't involve a screen!
