I think that these cubes are really cool and have a lot of potential. they could be some many things and do so many things. They could be the legos of the future, they could be used to design prototypes, they could be used to do almost everything due to their uniqueness. They are just so amazing. I love how simple they look and how easy and basic they seem. I think that this could also be used like the backpack from Dora... they could turn into basically anything. Maybe the military could use they cubes. It would be cool is they made them super small so that they could turn into different keys when they come together. This could, once again, help the armed forces. Anyway, that's my thought process
I disagree with same somewhat. I agree with Sam that these cubes have quite a bit of potential. I disagree in the sense that these cubes are the future of the military and such. I think that they are more of a start of self rearranging robotics.
I thought this was a really interesting video because of the explanations and reason of the actions that the cube is doing. The spinning mass that they put inside of the cube is very amazing. I never knew that there was a spinning mass that could move objects in whatever position the object is in. It would be cool if the spinning mass were bigger. Then, the object with the spinning mass that is inside of it could be spinning and moving a lot. I wonder if the spinning mass is in object and nature around us. I think it could be in hurricanes and tornadoes because they go really fast and they are spinning. The spinning mass could be the reason for the spinning of the tornadoes and hurricanes. Also, I wonder if the spinning mass would act differently in a different shape, like a sphere. I think that if the spinning mass were in a sphere, the sphere might be moving more in a rolling and spinning way other than moving in a connected, more robotic way like the cubes move. I also wonder how it would be without the magnets on the cubes. The cubes might be spinning around, just moving wherever, but it might be programmed to just go to one area. Like I mentioned before with the spheres that they could be rolling, it could be hard to put the magnets on them, since they are circular. The spheres could just be rolling around in the air. I find it interesting how they can form the shapes. I know that they are programmed to form the shapes, but the cubes are doing it by themselves, rather than being moved by an actual human. I would rate this article a 9 out of 10 because it could have had more information about how they built the cubes and how they did the programming, but otherwise I liked the vivid detail and information they had in the video.
I really liked this video. I found it really cool that those small cubes could jump and move with just simple computer commands. I think that in the future this invention could go a long way and be marketed in stores. They are so simple, but with a few commands the technology can go a long way. Overall, I really enjoyed this video, and thanks to Brian for putting it on the blog.
I am so excited about these new robots. If we found a way for them to assemble different shapes besides cubes and rectangular prisms, these self-assembling cubes will help us greatly. It would be cool if you could make some in the shape of spheres or triangles to make different objects or molds. When these become more advanced if they could assemble faster, maybe they could move as one being. It would be cool if NASA sent this to te moon with cameras attached to scout for life signs, water, etc. I assume that these will be the future of household robots.

Still, I thought that this video gave some good insight to technology of the future.
