For the uninitiated, littleBits are basically small plastic bricks, of different colors, each with modules or switches mounted on them. These modules are connected to wires that run through the plastic, enabling you to connect the littleBits together into a circuit. Each littleBit is magnetic, which helps to complete the connection. Most littleBits kits are quite expensive, and feature ten or more components. However, the Star Wars Droid Inventors Kit is quite different. We’ve already seen how affordable it is; it’s also simpler, features fewer littleBits than usual, and is geared towards a very narrow purpose. It teaches basic robotics to children.
