fischertechnik Rubic's Cube Solver

[freddythefish100]

fischertechnik? looks like its made of legos XD

[brightboystef]

What is this gypsy magic

[bschneid194]

I quit at life

[aNdYmAtTeR]

Great training of the little machine!

Must have taken some time ...

but it generated insane amount of happiness in the ftcommunity first time it worked!!!

[Oshyrath]

How did you program algorithms using fischertechnik?

[heiko2342]

@jesseiscool123ful, please contact ftcommunity.de for pricing. We'll be happy to help.

[5nascarkrazy24]

how the ...?

[cdopqrs]

nice!



[M4ss4c4]

kraaaaasse sache^^...

[jesseiscool123ful]

how much money is it

[1493snickers]

how

[jisom18]

did you use color sensors or is a formula programmed for the machine to follow?

[jisom18]

did you use color sensors or is a formula programmed for the machine to follow?

[pichupokemon1010]

wow just wow

[ETechMrKrasselt]

This is amazing! Well done!!!

[coretuck]

Imagine the program on that...

[Pbrevo64]

that my friends, is legitness!

[Daauktio]

or you can watch a tutorial how to solve the cube and do it in under 2 mins...

[Arsenal261]

That's was creepy

[deminisher98]

you can build that BUT YOU CAN'T SOLVE A RUBIX CUBE???

[heiko2342]

@deminisher98 Oh, where did you get that impression? Also, why does it matter so much? In related news, you can write comments here BUT CANT FIX YOUR KEYBOARD???

[deminisher98]

@heiko2342 actually i can. Its just a few circuitboards. I just dont like wasting my time making something so epicly complex in stead of doing the original solution.

[shoppentotaal]

Gaaf. fischertechnik kun je kopen bij shopeenblokje.nl.

Een compleet assortiment en veel op voorraad.

[TeslaWasHere]

I haaate fischer techniks.....

[StrykerAceX7]

Nice! But I'm still faster than that robot :)

[heiko2342]

@StrykerAceX7 But not any faster than our second robot? Because otherwise we'd have to make a third one.

[Thunderschiller]

@AndyOG yes it's possible

[kretzkid98]

I call hax

[HappyHawaiinSauce]

I can do it much faster with my own method.

[49916092]

omg... you, sir, are awesome

[AndyOG]

Wow! but...is it only one program?

or is it really possible to detect colors with fishertechnik-sensor? :D

[heiko2342]

@AndyOG Yes.

[Raphy717]

Wow this is really quite amazing! Great Job!

[arandomperson240]

Where are the sensors for colour?

[heiko2342]

@arandomperson240 Mounted inside the lid. Same as in version 2, look at our other videos for a clearer view.

[heiko2342]

@Mr10000Volt: Exactly, two color fields are scanned at a time. There is no video camera, simply because lighting was not stable enough to provide reproducible colors.

By the way, the video does not play backwards. Try to figure out how the cube could be inversely pushed by the levers -- glue maybe? Glue you can switch on and off? Yeah, we'd love to have some of that.

[Darryl0666]

@heiko2342

either this person is a genius or fischertechnik has some really really cool new glue! Either way, Great vid.

[Mr100000Volt]

Absolutely amazing! Simpel but efficient mechanics!

Which purpose have the 2 photocells on the holding arm (upper border of the picture)? Do they scan the color of the fields, they are pointing at? Or is there a video camera, which films the surface and the computer is analyzing the picture?

[eddieblo]

the film is plaing backwards....not fake but "special effect"

[34BostonRedSox34]

Does it scan the colors at the beginning only and then figure out the sequence of turns it must do to solve it, or does it scan the colors throughout the whole solving process?

[RoyceChannel]

ZzzzzzZZZZzzZzzZzzZZzzZZzZzz..­..

[williamheltor1]

Thats cool! The program must be huge

[trackgrl194]

thats sweet! :P

[Srlancelot39]

sweet man!!!

[amcginley2]

amazing, fuck lego.

[2bored1lovesick]

dude i would not take the time to make that code, i did a marble sorter and that annoyed me.

[Za7a7aZ]

When I was 7 years old my father gave me a few fischer technik boxes for my birthday. To this day it is the most wonderful present I ever received. I saved it for whenever I got a kid but that never happened and gave it to the kid of my sister. I never saw him play with it so after 10 years I asked what happened with the FT. She said...oh..I threw it in the bin some years ago. That hurts...

[polarbeardude]

The machine looks fairly simple to build, however, that program must be 8 feet long congrats guys.

[graytmann]

...why are people thumbing down...he merely was saying that the code was probably a hard on to develop...sheesh

[abduction03]

nice

[niero556]

Fake

[Matanuva135]

it's not fake

[titanguitarman]

No its not our school uses these kits and with all the sensors it has you can program it to solve something like this.

[Srlancelot39]

@niero556 ya it's fake. because you're not seeing it work before your eyes......

stupid troll

[AlesTemple]

WOW !

Very nice !

[hershath]

excellent

[robbieisdun]

it takes quite some time but

it can solve it :P

[rpros100]

Wow...

[frido15]

its using the same method as me :P

[chuchoalh]

amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!

[46mtg]

Wow all you guys that are saying bad stuff about this video, fuck you all. This is one of the hardest stuff to do. How about one of you guys that are sitting at home at saying wow that guy isnt supposed to move the middle layer, go kill yourself.

[Lawmanx25]

God, that is just incredible.

I too am working on the Marble Sorter right now, though I worked through programs and made some cooler stuff with my free time in class. By any chance do you have a tutorial for how to build this, or at the very least what the program itself looks like? I would love to build this myself.

Anyways, you must be VERY dedicated to programming and construction to be able to build this marvel; kudos to you.

[DylmarSouza]

Simplesmente Duca!

[robertandzete]

Amazing!

[BENOandYAG]

We had an assignment at school to use Fishertechniks to make a marble sorter, but this?

And I thought the programing on the marble sorter was hard...

[bioniclealek789]

is that lego

[doublebass08]

no, its fischertechnik stuff

we use it at my school

you can create robots and stuff, it's more sophisticated that legos

[DarkCalmor]

This goes out to every one who is saying that it solves it differnt. It is a computer which uses advanced math to solve the cube. It uses math to find the lest amount of moves to solve it.

[ZeroByrne]

if you can program that you shouldn't still be playing with fischer techniks

[nulaft]

@ZeroByrne why still? fischertechnik is no toy :D

[fabianbaege]

braucht n bissel lang

[speedysatliteguy]

i'm flabergasted

[kaner333]

This robot doesn't form the cross first, it must have been programmed to use a different method, perhaps more efficient?

[saymyabc]

it wokrs too slowly.somebody should tell him that

he haven't choose a good direction to slove rubik before he had to do a lot of unnecessary work and make so complex machine

[csnyen]

fakes like this are not realy funny. you (or the maker ) had been to play the movie bachwards.

sorry for my bad english.i hope you understand!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DMCWestside]

Never solved a cube in your life, did you? If you did, you would have known that cubes are solved in steps: creating a cross, solving the edges, solving middle layer, solving bottom layer, etc. etc. This machine does all that in perfect order. Playing it backwards would result in senseless action.

[xMrElix]

Csnyen, if this was backwards how does the cube come out of the tray without the arm gripping it. You have not solved a Rubik's cube evr before, thats evident, so how would you even know how this works well enough to see that isn't doing ti right? from what i see its doing it fine, its just limited to speed because it can only turn the bottom side, meaning every move has to have moves of flipping beofre it, where as when solveing by hand it can easily be turned.

[xMrElix]

And might i add Csnyen, that in order to turn a middle piece, it must turn the bottom side, completely flip over and turn the top side. its moves like these that slow it down dude. god people are so efing sceptical. you didn't even think this through.

[bumblepuss]

In Rubiks, moving the middle layer is only permited in amateur league rubiks matches. Pro Rubikers never move the middle layer. If this video wasn't so obviously fake then the machine would be a Pro which isn't possible as it's a robot.

[BlissfulDissolution]

Are you fucking dumb? He is a programmer. Not a fucking rubiks cube nerd like you. see, instead of doing what millions of others have done before. He does something productive with his life. now he can solve a rubiks cube faster than you and get laid...

[bumblepuss]

Erm actually, I can solve a cube way quicker than this. Like 15 seconds or less. Secondly, I'd probably have gotten "laid" loads of times by now if I wasn't pro virginity. And since when was building robots not fucking nerdy.

[coatduck]

I beleave the apropreate response to this comment is, umm

pwnd!!!

[hamguy01]

@BlissfulDissolution at the same time!! :D

[BlissfulDissolution]

@hamguy01 thanks haaa I meant to add that! You're the mannn!

[coatduck]

this video isn't fake who would bother? yes its a hard thing to dobut yeah you could build a computer to sove a rubics cube, there is a website where you feed in the information and it tells you how to solve it,this is an impressive thing this person has built and he or she is probably very pround of it, and I bet won't be pleased with YOU saying that its fake, that just makes you feel inadicuite and stupid, so I would stop being such a jerk about this because your obveusly wrong

[bestairsoftreviews]

@coatduck its not fake faget

[coatduck]

@bestairsoftreviews wait, so I just wrote out a huge comment saying it wasn't fake, and I get corrected, by someone saying it wasn't fake. I know its not fake, but some people thought it was also I beleave I just made you look rather silly

[coatduck]

@bestairsoftreviews wait, so I just wrote out a huge comment saying it wasn't fake, and I get corrected, by someone saying it wasn't fake. I know its not fake, but some people thought it was also I beleave I just made you look rather silly which I appologize for, but honistly read comments over twice before you reply

[CannibalTr0ll]

@coatduck lol, "inadicuite" "obveusly".

[coatduck]

@CannibalTr0ll ok so my spelling was bad, but you have to admit I raised a good point, no?

[CannibalTr0ll]

@coatduck Yes, yes, I was just trolling. :/

[coatduck]

@CannibalTr0ll its cool, who doesn't love a little trolling now and then?

[uryy91]

Impressive!

[priris]

9 minutes of a waiste of life...safe

[alecTHElion]

Brilliant Well done :) execilent

[Venator82]

Unlike some other machines that claim to solve Rubik's cube, this one does follow the patterns and algorithms. It truly can fix a randombly set cube. Very impresive.

[spencermcgrew]

How did you construct it to withstand the loads imposed by the friction of the cube?

[pietinkler]

It would be good i guess to loosen cubes but...

[wooothooot]

and i thought making a marble sorter was hard

[MeanHacker]

nice video!

[Kerrrrrr]

needs music

[RatchetHacker]

that fucking machine is awesome

[Antakres]

The Hungarian Erno Rubic is a genius.

Hungary gave several clever people to the world (for example Ede Teller, Denes Gabor and so on)

[PucchinMatsuda]

see this is what i dont understand..you use so much of your time to build a high tech machine but use it to finish a rubiks cube..

we could have found the cure to cancer if we didnt do useless stuff like this

[coerce1]

I hope you realise that cancer and Rubik's cubes principals don't apply to each other.

Totally irrelevant

FAIL comment.

[skierplaterandy]

so your sayying instead of having hobbies you are studying cures of cancer in every single second of spare time you have? even if you are it doesn't mean everyone elce should.

[theWestonian]

why dont YOU go do it, since you have nothing better to do than leave idiotic comments?

[xXRubiksgeekXx]

i can sole in 30 seconds. :D

[Xboxsuckshairyballs]

cool

[solarlight361]

cool i can solve one in 1 min

[thesongmakers]

i use the fischertechnik at camp to build a car and the red and green plugs i put in the intertface

[Shoelace3]

This one is the best looking one i've seen till now! It may not be the fastet but it sure is nice!

[marcomovies11]

cool joh, echt fetttttttt ( ,  :

[tjtheplay]

You should always check your spelling before you make a vid. It's spelled: Rubik's cube not "rubic's cube"

[captnsal]

very good use of the ROBOPro software. did you use the color filtering on top of the light to reflect to the photoresitor?

[FallenAngel890]

Pretty sweet o.O

[thkais]

AhYaOK: You're wrong. At first the solver reads the pattern, then it calculates the moves needed to solve the cube. It is all calculated *without* a PC. You can place any scrambled cube.

The program is written in "RoboPro", this is a graphical language.

[war723]

nice design and the speed is a nice touch

[AhYaOk]

Just realized that it probably doesn't use recognition to solve it. Am I wrong? Still cool though. The programming isn't as advanced as it looks, its just simple move by move instructions. The program doesn't do any real problem solving.

[AhYaOk]

Wicked, but can it solve it by taking it apart and reasembling like I do? Now that I would like to see.

[elnetini]

Slow but effective

[egoegoegoego]

tere is no ten minute time limit! ive seen videos on here WELL over an hour!!

[JoffyMusic]

there is a 10 minute time limit. regular youtube accounts that havent applied for director privileges abide by this rule.

q_q more nub.

[egoegoegoego]

so you just defeated your own point? i said there wasnt one, then you say there isnt one but for directors but anyone can get one. i'm right

[JoffyMusic]

no you said there isnt a time limit. in fact, there IS a time limit. the point this video host is not a director, therefore the time limit exists for him ;). applying for a director account is more work.

[egoegoegoego]

even more importantly, get a life

[JoffyMusic]

looks like you lost that battle. lmao.

[egoegoegoego]

looks like you're some psycho youtube fanboy who wont seem to drop it and move on. lmao

[JoffyMusic]

doesnt seem to me like you're dropping much either...except some lame jokes.

THERES NO 10 MINUTE LIMIT rofl younube.

[egoegoegoego]

yea, lame jokes. "younube" and "q_q more nub" are so hit and so in

[JoffyMusic]

theres no 10 minute limit!!!!! :'''(

[egoegoegoego]

you're so very original. i envy you

[adselrecom]

hard enough to do it meself imagine building a machine for it.... no thanks

[abcdfghijlnopqrst]

it would just make it more complexe but if you made the thing that spins on the bottom able to rise it would proble save you lots of time

[markjson13]

lol

[justingib1]

hey that is pretty cool do u know where to get one

[cocopops149]

yh he made it is a mindstorms NXT thing you have to make it

[Brysey19]

its called fischertechnik, its like adult legos. I use it in my engineering class, its really not that hard to use, everything from power ribons to motors are included in the kits but this is amazing i cant imagion how long it took to program. by the way what did you use to program it? we use apple basic, just cuz its incredibly simple.

[russia21]

wow the code for tht is crazy, they didnt do it by hand, my friend told me a shorter way for writing code for fischer tech

[wachamagerman]

buy one of thoe's chinease kids who solve it in 10 seconds, save urself 9 muinets 50 seconds lol!

[Necrastis]

Hahahahaha good one

[godofredo711]

what did the code for this look like?

[tyubika]

WOW it uses layer by layer right? That's cool

[bivoxuhri]

ist das fake??? ich glaub es mal!! aber toll ist es alle male!!!

[Yaflet]

Fischertechnik rocks! I have one of the little dinky beginner sets (with the flip-flop) which doesn't come close to the awesome computation this thing does. What unit is this?

[McrKid4Life2]

wow did u guys build that your selves??? thats cool

[pascalso]

wow a cross in a minute. quite fast for a computer tho

[RME25B]

im faster

[rockeroftoday]

Proving that humans can beat machines, but i rather build this so i can prove that i can solve it and make a inanimate object solve it, makes me feel, supioir lol

[godofredo711]

you cant even spell superior

[badharenight]

He can't spell superior and you're shy of apostrophes :D

You can't not cant.

[neo50sr]

also, mind sending me that or sumthing, u use robopro, right??? i d like to just look at it

[neo50sr]

haha very nice, are u in a Projectleadtheway class or sumthing or are u just playing with them.

[Rockerman52]

i'm in that and we do nothing like that but that might be cuz i might be in another state

[555666nate666555]

i built something similiar, a marble sorter =]

[michelobob]

Hi,

wow, great job..what software did you use for the image recognition? did you write you own solver? and how did you get the parts? wouls appreciate if you can let me know. I'm really interested in robotics, and i think this would be a nice project to pull off

[smartbrick]

That did take a while...I can beat it in speedsolving =P

[kakku1234]

omg lol

[novemberrauch]

Wow, really greate work!

[ParkinZEN]

this is great, i would like too see a lot of details in seperate sharp frames, foto's perhaps? i wouldn't dare asking for a building schedule ;-) but i'd shure like it.

[kaikaiscienceguy]

Well, was it great! Here's a question. Where is the scanner so it gets it right all at the end? Please reply.

[bedeone]

see the light each time the rectangular piece comes down on the cube? It is illuminating the three pieces so the scanner next to it can read them

[KJKLbvlkbjbclkrf]

Takes too long.

A human can do it faster, therefore, humans are more superior than this machine.

[eFFeeMMe]

Yes! And if hamsters were to complete Rubik's cube in 3 seconds, then they would be more superior than humans.

[Snacks3]

That is cool! Nice work. It looks like you programmed it to use the beginner's method of solving. I think you could greatly reduce the amount of time to solve by switching the algorithm to F2L, OLL, PLL method. All well know algos that should be easy to punch into your solving engine.

I've still not see a 4x4 or larger solver yet....

[dacc1974]

Why I need a stupid robot working 10 boring minutes when I can solve the Rubik cube in 30 seconds?

[pingpong55555]

because its cool

[lewisr47]

because the thrill of the challenge wasn't about speed. It was about 'how can I make these pieces of plastic and wire solve a Rubics cube all by itself'. It shows the kind of inventive thinking that created the car, televison, medicine, personal computers, the internet, and.. rubics cubes.

[kruss08]

this isnt about robots taking over jobs...there is a sequence that solves all rubicks cubes...they j programmed it into the thing so it can flip it when it needs to...it doesn't "know" its solving a rubivks cube...duh.
