Lego Robot Solves Bigger and Harder Rubik?s Cubes

For quite some time we have been commenting on various wonders developed with the Mindstorms robotics kit from Lego, like Tetris-Bot, robot playing Tetris without human intervention.

This time we'll talk about something more complex, I mean the MultiCuber, a robot that is capable of solving complex Rubik's Cube. This robot was created by David Gilday and MultiCuber although not as fast as the CubeStormer (robot that solves 3 ? 3x3 cube in just 11 seconds), it can solve different types of cubes from the smallest 2 ? 2x2 up to 5 ? 5x5, as standard, and much more complex cubes of 6 ? 6x6, where larger version.

Each time some of us are surprised over the versatility and capability that offers Lego Mindstorms, so it is not surprising that many children who today play this kind of robotics kits become the future of robotics geniuses worldwide.​

my mind.......
blown dude

 

[D.T.S.]

With the laptop involved this isn't quite as awesome to me. I mean, there are several algorithms out there for solving rubik's cubes.

Heck, people do it blindfolded, so when you throw in the processing power of a laptop...

I mean, it is really impressive, but the laptop is basically just solving it and then giving the robot the relatively simple steps to go through.

Unless I'm totally missing something.

I noticed you put blood in your comp in your sig.
Do you have blood cooling (like water cooling)?
If so, that would be brutal.
