When a kids game plays/solves a kids game?!

LEGO Robot Solves Any Rubik’s Cube In Less Than 12 Seconds


The famous Cube Stormer creation is from Mike Dobson, aka Robotics Solutions. Not only is it made entirely out of Legos, it can solve any 3×3x3 rubik’s cube in less than twelve seconds. Often it can finish in less than five!



YouTube clip (with fast NXT cube loader) can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1y1m6YLnu8&feature=related

After this I went on to watch a Sudoku puzzle solving NXT robot, that analyzes the puzzle, then writes in the answers. Fantastic!
It is slow at first, but they speed it up later to make it more interesting.   Must see at
