CUBES!CUBES!
Bring your toys to life with Circuit Cubes, the electronic
building blocks that add power, motion, and light to
your creations. Designed by STEM teachers, Circuit
Cubes can turn a light on, power a motor, or make
wheels spin — plus, they work with your LEGO® bricks.
MOTOR CUBEMOTOR CUBE
A perfect fit for your LEGO® gears and wheels, this
mighty little motor actually rotates at more than 1,000
RPM (rotations per minute), but the tiny gears attached
to the motor shaft reduce the rotations to about 100
RPM. This ensures maximum torque to turn the wheels
or gears of your projects.

BATTERY CUBEBATTERY CUBE
The standard battery Cube is the power for your circuit.
It has a positive and negative terminal. Just turn on the
switch to power your creation and it's rechargeable
too. If the LED on the top of your cube is flashing red
then you have caused a short circuit and power output
is disabled to allow you to troubleshoot the circuit.

You won’t find +/- signs on the Motor Cube because direct
current (DC) motors, like this one, can accept current in
both directions. If you wire it up one way, it will rotate
in one direction. Flip your wires and it will spin in the
opposite direction.
