Overview

A snap-together modular robot from the makers of Loona, whose joints, wheels, legs and grippers click onto a screen-faced Brain to make a walking pet, arm or rover. Clever hardware, but programming never went beyond the app's graphical editor. KEYi's site now focuses on Loona and the ClicBot page redirects to the homepage.
