CUBESCUBES
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.

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.

The Red-Green-Blue (RGB) LED has three different
LEDs in one bulb. Use the small switches to turn
on each of the different LEDs, and control the red,
green, and blue lights. Try mixing the colors together
to get different combinations for purple, teal, and
yellow lights.

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.

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.

A single Motor spins all four of Dune's wheels. It accomplishes this using idler gears between the driving gear & two driven gears.
Dune's drive train uses two sizes of gears: 8-tooth & 24-tooth gear.

We can compute Dune's gear ratio by focusing on the three gears in the highlighted blue box that drives the front axle.
A 1:1 gear ratio means that the Motor & the wheel axles spin at the same speed.

WORMWORMGEARGEAR
Worm gears can easily turn other gears, but other gears cannot turn worm gears.
Worm gears drive axlesand are perpendicular to the input axle.
The worm gear is effectively a 1-tooth gear, used to increase torque.
Gator may not be the fastest, unless in an uphill race.

Blur uses two stages to get two speed increases. Each stage has a 24-tooth driving gear and an 8-tooth driven gear.

For each stage, the 8-tooth axle is spinning 3 times faster than the 24-tooth axle. The axle from the first stage, now 3 times faster, is the input to the second stage. Again, the speed is increased 3 times, for a total gear ratio of 9:1.
The wheels are spinning 9 times faster than the motor!

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Handle Circuit Cubes
with care. They contain sensitive electronic components,
including batteries, and can be damaged or cause injury if
dropped, burned, punctured, crushed, disassembled, or if
exposed to excessive heat or liquids. Do not use damaged
Circuit Cubes.
BATTERIES The battery is non-replaceable. Do not attempt to
replace the batteries yourself. You may damage the batteries,
which can overheat and cause injury. Do not expose battery to
water or allow the battery to get wet. Circuit Cubes are only
intended to work with one Battery Cube in a circuit — parts may
fail if you add multiple Battery Cubes in a circuit.
DISPOSAL The lithium-ion polymer in your Battery Cube
should be recycled by Tenka Inc. or an authorized service
provider. For more information about Tenka Inc. lithium-ion
polymer batteries, go to: circuitcubes.com/pages/cubecare
