LEGO Mindstorms Sudoku Solver

[ShadoVVaIker]

When I have a sudoku puzzle as homework, ill just make a robot with $200 and wait 1 hour and turn it in. WIN.

[SteenSpinal4LIFE]

why is this even called lego... lego is are those bricks i used to play with

[misterminecraftnerd]

Woah!!!

[Thelegobeast1]

takes forever to scan but when writing it has a decent pace

[HawkeyeDrifter]

About how long would you expect this to take to construct, start to finish, from scratch? I think this is a really cool idea and would love to use it in a class of mine, but of coarse we will be on time restraints.

[ClementLim100]

Impossible Robot!!!

[CognitiveNetwork]

@ClementLim100 Non... Impossiburu!

[sputtnikk11]

that gotta be one hell of a code! o.o

[Scrat9518]

I laughed when it went through the process of scanning, thresholding, and thinning, only to authoritatively exclaim, "2!"

[musiclover28102]

mindstorm are very smart toys xaxaxa????

!!!!!

[tontsa911]

Impressive :D

[TheAnimaler]

I did this on nxt 2.0, but it doesn't work . Could You tell me why ?

[715157125jason]

I know a cheaper and faster way to solve a sudoku problem. If you have a android phone install the free google goggles app then take a photo of the sudoku problem then click solve then wait about 5 seconds then just copy it on the paper this takes you about 2-5 minutes depending on your internet connection.

[TamsinRJ]

lol, cool!

[TheRedbikemaster]

So what would it do if the puzzle was unsolvable?

O_O

[master272619]

@TheRedbikemaster proceed to destroy humanity

[Renea1991]

So you can build a robot that takes thirty minutes to solve the puzzle, or find a semi-intellegent child to do it in five. Cool Machine though.

[welshboywelshboy]

thats awesome

[sabinache10]

the best moment 4:06 ......

[Scorch1741]

Wow thats really amazing

[MATTAVEX]

0:52 - After all that, it concludes that what it sees is a two.....

[VoussoirCraft]

@MATTAVEX Two!

[davidmuewie2]

Is the solution algorithm a brute force or does it actually "solve" the sudoku?

[marioKID99]

Does this come with a manual

[rcduderocks]

3 leters wow, he is good

[axl148]

2 Better

[charliecat990]

By the way thts 4 u joe :)

[charliecat990]

Well, i think it gets a raw image by using a light sensor then it renders it in two different ways before thinning it. Im making it just now :D cant wait till its done

[lemint606g]

This is Awesome!!! For me, this is soooo cute!!!

[vudarksky]

i did 2 sudoku levels and reached level 20 at tetris and your mind storm still scanning 3

[diego85vargas]

wow congratulations ! clever stuff

[BlackIceLord1]

A lego Robot is better at Sudoku than Me :(

[lolxd433]

i only can say:

:D

[joeqpr1995]

How did you get it to recognize the numbers?

[joeqpr1995]

How did you get it to recognize the numbers?

[manuelemanuele1]

lo hai costruito tu ??



[bobbob12322]

at the beginning is it just scanning the paper?

[minikristianX]

wtf

[lolcat7360]

I can even lose against a homemade robot now!

[THEANDREiPADURE]

and can he also do my homework :p

[THEANDREiPADURE]

how does this thing knows it !!!!

[NavyTheNav]

@THEANDREiPADURE LEGO programming ;)

That's the same hell of thinking I do, when I'm sitting with those who took the second place internationally at World Robotics Olympids. Egyptian team o.o

I'm a member at their academy o.o

[CloeBuckingham]

@NavyTheNav These are the names of Muhammad's female slaves: Salma Um Rafi', Maymuna daughter of Abu Asib, Maymuna daughter of Sa'd, Khadra, Radwa, Razina, Um Damira, Rayhana, Mary the Coptic, in addition to two other maid-slaves.

[risuOtus]

Isn't that just boring and cheating? You just watch and robot does your work. I don't see any point doing this, I like to solve sudokus myself.

[TakronRust]

@risuOtus I would think designing and making a robot to do it would be more challenging and more fun than actually doing it.

[doglitbug]

@risuOtus God I hope your trolling

[risuOtus]

@doglitbug Noup. Why would i?

[mistacool987]

CRAP!!! THAT IS AMAZING!!!!!!!

[JackONeil12]

can i also do this with a colour sensor instead of the light sensor?

[TheMrHomework]

unbelievable

[steenodde77]

Very fine!

[casperado666]

what happens when it runs out of sudoku?

oh yes, judgement day

[casperado666]

fuck i can oficially do less than a lego toy

[orbninja247]

epic

[EdEnglandinEngland]

wow

[MomboMimo]

dear santa ...

[Pr0FE4Rx3]

nice handwriting really ... i would beat people to get that handwriting!

[Grubbypickle1111]

holy shit thats awesome



[Airbus2257]

2:40 that´s a 1 no 7

[LegoDude95000]

STUPID DRIVER! YOU DRIVE LIKE CANADA'S WORST DRIVER!

[mlnlme1]

My nxt2.0 worked with this. Almost only the boxed parts, just needed some worm screws a turntable and different tire treads. Takes about 15-20 minutes. Depends on how many numbers its gotta scan. Makes people think ur smart till u tell them u copied it

[vagos290189]

the most impressive thing is the handwritting

[uilliu]

That robot's handwriting needs to me a MS Word font.

[slaya771]

FUCK I JUMPED AT THE TWO

[arunalr29]

nice but is it real ???

[idanharpaz]

Can a regular Mindstorm 2.0 do it? I mean the basic robot box that costs about 250$?

[Xxm0j1nxX]

it has better handwriting than I do

[beyblademaster0123]

@Xxm0j1nxX me too

[TheUltarus]

Awesome!



[PARTYMARTYFTW]

I can beat this robot at Sudoku

[fredkidzero]

It has good hand writing. Not Bad.

[Nuka5]

Does it ever write little numbers in the corners of boxes or get bored and start on the crossword?

[juancccgg]

how long does it takes?

[aftereffectsdude4000]

I needed to go change my pants 40000000000000000000 times in order to watch this whole thing

[radio1911ify]

Should I believe this?

[hammoody12345]

@radio1911ify Are you a stupid Eldar?

[joku900]

(= homework

[luisthunder]

[noshah26]

[antoinedu19200]

[antoinedu19200]

[ilifetouch]

People are playing Str8ts now. Seems to be the next big puzzle .

[nickmooreimages]

Is it weird that I'm 23 and feel like buying another mindstorms set?

[TheEman610]

@nickmooreimages

Not at all, inner child FTW!

[MegaU10]

COOL!!

[DikkieKlijn]

How long does it take without the fast forward button?

[IndianBurrito22]

How to build with NXT 2.0???

[cruiserBRA]

GREAT!

[marianomanto]

[iojesraul]

love the robot, i cant do Sudoku myself.

[anisaenz16]

1:32 1:34 that TWO !!! scared the crap out of me...

[jammjack11]

29 people know they cant do this

[vigorousAtheist]

raise your hand if you came here from the chan!

[Lissy1996able]

[vd853]

im surprise it didn't run out of battery

[Bonn1213]

How to put a pen in it?

[bgpivoter]

Come on! *poke* Do math!

[Vaultman04]

@tiltedtwister I tried to open sudoku file in the mindstorms program but it says it cant find the destination, and help?

[desolat3]

We have this Lego kit and were using it right now! Cool!

[505videoman]

Bardzo Fajny robot, nie wiedziałem że może rozwiązywać sudoku

[2663981]

MUI LENTO

[thekevinmckevin]

WOW

[Techolismic]

Gameovah! Lol

[Techolismic]

Gameovah

[MsRedbelly]

so cool. could you please make a 'how to make' video if possible?

[Stormshock72]

@MsRedbelly go to tilted twister .com for building instructions and programming

[KevinSleegers]

what sensors did you use?

[nutzeeer]

i love to see them work :3

[ONixaO]

HOOOOW?????????????

[MsKeow]

27 people need to be solved by this robot

[patelskush]

This is an awesome Mindstorm robot!

[caiosanchesful]

How was the programming? Can you put it on mindstorms nxt site?

[beefinator14]

Lego rubiks cube solvers are cool.

But this is 100000 times cooloer, and more amazing. I would have never imagined that good resolution was possible using the lightsensor and nxt motors.

[cicoti]

Very Good. Congratulations.

[RBeanland]

mine says "error"

i need help

and does the spiral piece turning the motor on top suppose to rubb against the side of the motor?

please reply

[royXoft]

Mi país está lejos de esto.....las prioridades de la educación de estado desplazan este tipo de iniciativas.

[hugofehmers]

Wow this is is probably the best function that the lego mindstorm can for fill

[slycooperrocks123]

can you please send me the instructions + program

thanks

[slgrif12]

[sinistrolerta]

Watching thi video, I can say: " someday the robots will control the world". Up if you're like this too.

[Lukergamer]

Much better than the old one, it sucked.

[tulp35000]

Now do my homework.

[The9ofclubs]

[leozord]

3 words: oh my god

[Rpbones]

I am geting the box that has all that stuff but do you think this is true the sudoku thing? My friends said its possible /:|

[bachaddict]

@Rpbones Yes check the website. I've built the tilted twister and plan to try this next :)

[jacolegotrainbuilder]

very good



[MillionaireSudoku]

Superb!  This is awesome!

[fanlegotechnic]

Cool

[cathedral30]

You have lots and lots of skill, well done! All I could do with mine was to make it brake off my pieces of toilet roll

[headinthecloudsful]

Oh My God! How the hell does it do that!

[InkStudiosVideo]

wow that is awesome, pure awesomeness

not bad writing either

[InkStudiosVideo]

wow that is awesome, pure awesomeness

[ROBLOX0087]

I Wish.... I Could Program Him To Do My Homework Tho!

[legendkiller376]

That was awesome man

[ROBLOX0087]

Wow.. He Could Do My Homework!

[FulLitenHund]

@ROBLOX0087 your homework is sudoko?

[markonfilms]

This is awesome, are the mindstorm's worth the money? I'm thinking about getting the $260 package.

[NoMeLify]

Can you design it for 2.0?

[SamWaltonMan]

Can you send me the NXT-G program for this? It's Awesome!

[Czafa]

this is so incredibly slow, what if you used a bigger camera and scan the paper from a greater distance?

[VRayDantesTrygorn]

2'' of pure power!

[cws1981]

go to my website called how-to-do-sudoku.webs.com please.

[GMSamuelRhine]

@cws1981 ok

[testingte]

Ok, this thing has better handwriting than me >.<

[FEARcactus]

Change batteries...

[7avocadoes]

How long does it take to do a sudoku puzzle?

[forthewinlbp]

nice ''hand'' writing but still i would never be able to build that

[xDhey77]

oh my god...I don't even dare to think how you programmed it....

[brandthedog]

When I was a kid I was excited to find a cool shaped space windshield in my lego box.

[ThinkOverIt]

I followed the instructions but when it tries to lower the pen at the start of the program the arm from the motor that lowers the pen-holder pops out. Even when I get it to not fall out, it just sits there and does nothing.

[ssbbshadowplayer1]

It is faster than me...

[skullpirate360]

But can it do my homework???

[MrNipsi]

wow its hand writing is better than mine....

[danne6a]

@MrNipsi me2

[ShadowSniperACE]

Wow... I'm speechless wait I just said something... But that's awesome how it just solved that puzzle. I'll make mine do that... Later -:D

[zombiemom42]

[HTiezzi23]

[regittark]

[teremi1]

Nobody needs this. Who can tell me why should I have one?

[CromwellTheRed]

The camera displayed : "Low battery", before the robot stopped scanning.

[TheAc1219]

it shuld b able to ryt too

[jeffhuys]

@TheAc1219 shuld? b? ryt? What the fuck man.

[TheAc1219]

@jeffhuys what the fuck man? do you think the spellings which i wright are typo .then you must fuck urself man.. u must get with the lingo. it must hav been lil difficult to understand..but.........

[jeffhuys]

@TheAc1219 So you are saying that you're typing like that on PURPOSE? I think you won't get very far in society that way.
