*'''Port A & Port B :''' Port A and Port B are dual-purpose ports, allowing you to connect two devices to each port using a splitter. This effectively gives you four ports in total. Both ports support analog and digital signals, offering flexibility—use them as 2 analog and 2 digital on each side or configure them as 4 analog and 4 digital ports altogether.[[File:Roboki's RGB LED eyes.jpg|right|frameless|370x370px]]
*'''RGB LEDs (Eyes) :''' Roboki is equipped with customizable RGB LEDs that can be programmed to display different colors and patterns. These LEDs can be used to add visual effects to your projects, making them more interactive and engaging. Example Uses :
**Status Indicator: Programming the RGB LEDs to change color based on the status of your robot (e.g., green for active, red for error).
**Replicate Emotions: Programming the RGB LEDs to change color based of the emotion you want to portray (e.g., blue for sad, red for angry).
*'''Plug and Play Ports :''' Roboki features plug and play ports that allow you to easily connect external sensors and modules. This expandability makes it possible to enhance your projects with additional functionalities.
*'''Nuts, Screws and Acrylic sheet :''' There is a protective acrylic sheet secured on top of the Roboki Brick. It shields the switches, ports, and other components while keeping everything neatly covered. The sheet measures '''''47.7 mm''''' in width, '''''63.8 mm''''' in length, and has a thickness of '''''3 mm''''', leaving a 5 mm clearance above the board. Four screws and nuts, located at the corners of the Roboki, hold the acrylic sheet firmly in place. The hardware used are '''''M2.5 x 16 mm''''' self-tapping screws and '''''M3 x 5 mm''''' metal hex spacers.
