The evidence provided by a new web video suggests ‘blockhead’ is no longer the insult it once was – not now that autonomously intelligent building blocks have been unleashed onto the market. Oh yes, and just in time for Christmas too! Oh no, wait...

Cubelets is the collective name for these wonder-bricks; rollin’, rovin’ li’l things that they are. And while it would be eminently feasible for this writer to provide a potted summary of the many and myriad functions that mark these 3D squares as magically more advanced than your regular run-of-the-mill block, to do so would be to deprive you the pleasure of learning about these things from their apparently Netherlands-based inventor, via his new web video…  

Cubelets, would you Adam-and-Eve-it, are not really made in a Dutch forest at all, but rather Mork’s adopted hometown of Boulder, Colorado – by tech firm Modular Robotics, the staff of whom may or may not have beguiling comb-overs and fire-red beards that look like ablaze rhododendrons. If you want to get your mitts on your own set, then they are $160 for a half-dozen and a little over $500 for 20.
