Cubes acts as one big Cube. can roll, jump and do other things. also can be in relaxed state that allows Cubes move-roll individually. can be used as character, minion, companion, enemy, weapon, robo-parasite or even decoration of sci fi interiors. also have big potential for robotic puzzle games.
backstory:
CyberCubes are alternate product to CyberBalls. After succes of CyberBall drones, many companies entered to his industry and many of them made similar thing-drones. Here you see one of them that made with cubes-drones. They are small individual cubes that shares (or creates) a collective AI. This upper mind-AI is also recognizes itself as a big cube. (so predictable) They can roll as big big cube or can relax their magnetic connections and can move as individs. in both cases they are very usefull for many things. from assasinations to espionage they can do many different tasks. Also they can be a good and helpfull companion or a terrible hacker-parasyte for other/bigger robots.
