This work presents the RoFI platform -- a platform of distributed metamorphic robots. The individual robots (modules) can mechanically connect and therefore, build larger robots (systems) with more capabilities compared to a single module. The work gives the platform specification and proposes a formalism to reason about RoFI systems. We develop a suitable docking system for coupling the robots together, tackle the problem of inter-module communication, design a primary module of the platform and give means to program such robots. We also present some of the prototypes based on our designs.
