Modular Robotics’ production of Cubelets ramps up

“We’ve made a lot of changes to our production line recently and each machine automates a task that we used to do by hand. Now we get vastly quicker and better results and can make thousands more Cubelets per week than before.”

John Payne‘s insight:

Boulder may not have all the fun stuff in robotics, but it certainly has a high concentration.  Besides Modular Robotics, there’s also Sphero (Orbotix) and SparkFun.  I guess the lesson is that if you want to do robotics in Boulder, make it something fun.
