About Cubix

Cubix "Robots for Everyone!" follows the adventures of 13-year-old Connor, a robot whiz, who through the power of friendship brings to life a robot named Cubix that has been discarded as useless. When the town's wacky mad scientist, the evil Dr. K., begins to steal robots in search of a mysterious power source, Cubix and the gang prove to be the only force that can oppose him and new heroes are born.

The show is set in an amazing world called Bubble Town, where robots are everywhere and serve every function -- from hot dog vendors to gym teachers to best friends. Cubix is a futuristic story of action, adventure and an uncommon friendship.
