I saw this video a long ass time ago. Some guy also built a Lego Mindstorms Rubik’s Cube solver.

@arthur92710: probably not, the world record is under 9 seconds, I think.

oh shit, just finished loading and watching the video. nevermind. yeah, it can beat the human record of 7.08 seconds, lol. and this is an updated version of the one i saw awhile ago, so ignore my last comment

well… it wont cure cancer … thats a fact. and its not like it was fresh news, i mean, rubik cube solver software exist for a freakin long time and electric motors rotating each side of the cube is not like pretty mindblowing. those ingeneers could do better things. in conclusion .. im disapointed by the uselessliness of this hack lol.

Does it really solve the puzzle though?
Seems to me as though it just remembers the movements it did to get to the state it is in and then just plays the movements in reverse to reach the beginning.

I’d like to see a pre-mixed cube put in and see if it could solve it.

@md: Useful or not, it is an interesting project, and i think that is enough justification. they took an idea that had been done before and gave it a professional implementation, along with a couple new features (like mimicking the cube it saw on a webcam). not all projects have to cure cancer, hacking is all about exploring and having a playful curiousity. why did we climb everest? because it was there.
