Aggie Rubik's Cube Solver

[SweetLemonKing]

I can do it in redstone... hehe

[Paranormal532]

Noob.

[motster33]

id love to change the software of that robot to make it only turn 45 degrees instead of 90 degrees and watch as it makes the rubix cube explode

[samzone10]

Fake... its obviously stop motion you can see other pieces that are nowhere near the moving piece...

[lewis7363]

@samzone10 stop motion? Don't think so.

It would take a lot more time to make a stop motion like this (30fps * 43 second video is about 1300 separate pictures) than it would to build it. It has also been done many times before this, so nobody would even bother faking it. I just hope you were trolling.

[bluelegecy]

why do this when you can solve it yourself you noob!!!

[mucknfold]

@bluelegecy In the future humans need to solve this on distant planets that are to radioactive for us to visit ourselves

[bluelegecy]

@mucknfold wtf? are you mindfucked? come on, you gotta be kidding.

[mucknfold]

@bluelegecy There is no fooling you!

[PSPHaxxorPlayer863]

@mucknfold How many tabs of acid are you on right now?

[mucknfold]

@PSPHaxxorPlayer863 None, the question is how many are you on if you think I was serious?

[PSPHaxxorPlayer863]

@mucknfold May I remind you that this IS the internet.

[mucknfold]

@PSPHaxxorPlayer863 No i´m pretty sure when someone is trolling, Apparently not you. Now get off my cloud.

[PSPHaxxorPlayer863]

@mucknfold I never said anything like that.

[808darkhands]

Y U NO GO FASTER ?!!!

[TheWaxman57]

fuck fuck

[ExoVampire]

Centers missing? Rather how to solve a void cube.

[Macho570]

@ExoVampire

the center cube on each side only rotates

[2000Jeffster]

wow. but no centers



[Gegi1992]

So you could simply have remembered how you shuffled it and then told the machine to do the same thing backwards.

[vinodvijay987]

How is it getting feedback of current positions?

[ccurley98]

Or you could get a brain, not be lazy and actually solve it urself

[ShepardsSin]

@ccurley98 NO, we will be lazy cuz this is america dammit!

[Sneak4000]

@ccurley98 It takes a lot more brains to create a machine that can solve a Rubix Cube than to solve it yourself.

[Qzyxya]

That's a cool way to solve a cube. Did it like calculate the fastest way?

[RusCRANK]

rotors from floppy ?

[DawnBruisedhead12]

@juliend699 lol u r rite

[juliand665]

It looks like they're torturing that cube!

[marcohoffi]

Gods algorythm?

[cactus248productions]

but will it solve ANY combonation and if so how?

[x19LUCA86x]

wow



[snidergp1]

gig' em aggies!

[RUL1S88]

I'm 95% sure that this video is approving comments be4 letting them be posted.

[atompegasus]

man howd you do that

[luuclucas]

Lego can do this faster

[thekillerr1000]

why build a machine to do that it takes all the fun out of it

[kilikx1x]

you know this is actually not a rubiks cube...

[lucasdkristensen]

...

[SnipingNationUnited]

Looks like im the only one watching this in 2011? lol

[Coolguy6090]

THAT was awesome. Great job

[KEN117MC]

i like how everyone thinks this is amazing. ive seen one that can solve a rubiks cube in 5 seconds. and it doesnt matter how its jumbled up. it solves it in 5 seconds flat

[Rawr5649]

well, you could start with it solved, then calculate the moves you made to unsolve it, then program the machine to do it in reverse

[selinamb]

nerds are so freaking hot it's almost unfair.

I also love how you would "defend to the death."

A passionate brainy guy. Who'da thought that combination existed?

Oh, and ah... cool machine you've got there. ;)

[nipclaw]

damn, how long it take to make it?

[Treylb3]

@nipclaw 4 weeks

[ILovHockey]

sweet

[TNBChristmas]

That's Cool!

[pyronerf]

cool i want one o well

[pyronerf]

cool robot

[xfrostybabyx]

awesome hehe

[GideonHaitis]

What does the system save? Numbers and colors of each one or what? o.o

[Mxdude737]

no life.

[saymyabc]

good job

[Eislord]

n1 gj

I like the machine. Looks complicated.

[roxanaa8]

?puedes aser uno con un dedo?

[hmfaysal]

Wow.. Thats amazing. I am from A&M Qatar Campus and I am member of A&M Robotics club. I know about the Algorithm(s) to solve this cube. There are like 8 algorithm to solve in depending on variation. Anyways, nice job. And Gig'em. And people dont argue, if you dont understand it.

[SlapAnimations]

awsome

[sinkingrob11]

nice

[tangomangosalsa]

im confused

[shimsupercharged]

dude thats awsome!! good job

[PSully1245]

where can i get one

[gr8lax23]

AWESOME!!!!

[krizzkrozzapplesauze]

thats awseomw how much did it cost?

[spongebob081980]

.... holy crap

[yit1245]

reverse scaramble!!!!!!

[Aceschool03]

wow u reply every comment

[sk8in4TheBigMan]

Thats pretty friken sweet

[Xapsh]

That is so awesome! =D

Does it scan the cube's status before every turn, then solve it the fastest way it can?

[patio87]

Good job.

[FireKnightZombie526]

Awesome!

[znelson710]

how did it know what the starting configuration was? was ther some software that told it the moves to solve the cube? i det you would get some nice money with that kind of technology

[hcpizza]

haha very cool

[Xerangelo]

why are you the only one responding to your own video ...

[xRebaRocksx]

ok thts freaking awesome u guys are geniuses and i dont think its fake at all good work now if only i could figure out how to make one and thn id actually be able to complete a Rubiks cube lol :)

[ivanmatiasmongi]

mh

bien

[hutigg]

I myself am a aggie and this is AWSOME. I life in Baton Rouge, so to all you LSU fans out there, Gig'em Aggies!!!

[shattered0717]

Nice. Research & technology continue to advance. Keep up the good work.

[1232121212321212]

an amazing solver. is it able to solve from any mix, or just a fixed one?

[lolypopsicle]

thats cool

[conga234]

really good vid

[xxkilla59xx]

can you make it go faster?

[Boston1970s]

Cool! Gig 'Em Aggies

[phong115]

wow dude you made that unbelieveable A+ but a real life robot could do that but try solving it lol

[sigg156]

slightly epic

[ShimmyShamm23]

ok their really not tht hard to solve

[derkman127]

how it works? does it just remember the order it shuffled it? or does it read it or something

[clifford2704]

hmm maybe it just scrambles it then just does oppitsite... watch my vids

[Minidude1993]

this is so awsome I want that just to show off and solve all cubes within 1 minute lol

[6cody5]

ooooooooo!

[Klayperson]

I can see how that works, if it records what turns have been done then it knows where all the colors are (or you could have used cameras, i don't know) then it's just the same kind of software that finds the fastest solution like in 3D virtual rubik's cubes, except it issues commands to motors instead of 3D boxes :D

[TheAlchemist1023]

is it algorithym or is it just a reverse solve

[ninja4301]

That's Awesome!!!

[gaylordsunite]

LOL

[Bluezero75]

hey dude :D that was awesome!

[alexpark100]

wow, you built it? asweome :3 it real cool :D

[amyfan3000]

holy crap thats cool

[UltimateSoccerStar]

y do u write all the comments???u should let ppl do it

[dylanfan101]

get me one of those!!!

[SpartanElite095]

the center pieces don't move so it doesn't matter if the machines are there.

[pendulocarnivoro]

wow

xD

[arcaneaddict]

very very very nice

[xXThizB3Fw3SHXx]

mkm

[LeafyPixilStix]

ummm wats with only the autor of the video commenting

[lakieman5]

wow, and you built that?

[xOutcast]

that is cool but whats the point?

[clj7]

I went on this type of course over the Summer thataso lasted 4 weeks. I designed and built a system to use on cars to keep safe distance between the vehicle in front. That idea is better than mine though :P

[CrazyTastyBoy]

cool

[SBustathedog]

hum well the comments aren't showing but meh,

thats good does it use a computer and sencers?

[sourdoughress]

cool

[Hot4wordsfan]

for some reasons the comments don't cascade unless you do view all comments...wish i could figure out why

[gearsofmuffin]

what a waste of money

[1337Vivian]

Very cool.

[kookie2100i]

i prefer people doing it, cuz it is cooler to see how our brains work so fast.

[Skateboardzrulez88]

i could do it faster than this machine!

[krystilklear247]

go atm WOOT!

[shadowsa2b]

weird machine....were you giving it commands or did it solve it itslef?

[xGlennNgX]

lol

[yohomy94]

this is sik nasty

[codyg670]

haha i love how this is a legitimate project and there are kids trying to tell you that you recorded it off the tv or that you cant really prove that it solves a rubiks cube.

[Bambino322100]

super :D

[jermujorma]

WTF

[Nicetry75]

looks like that R.E.M. album cover. lol

[tomintx]

Cool. Now that you are prepping for finals, some questions. How did you set the initial condition? Did the machine do the scramble under manual control, etc?

Also - how did the machine learn the initial positions of the cubes/colors? Was optics involved or just enter the patterns by hand?

[Zilchary]

o.o weird

[FriendFinder24]

I heard that theres always a solution in max 22 moves

i think the robot do this

[BobDanish]

Ha, you can build a robot that will solve a rubik's cube, but can't figure out why the comments dont cascade. Ha, sorry.

Cool vid, though

[Airbusftw]

Its not hard to do, just 6 stepper mottors connected with a microcontroller, and a simple programm tells those mottors how many rotations they must do for each command step. The command is structured in a way that it always follows the same pettern. Aint easy if you are just a studient and this guy did a good job with it!

[DanaMyra]

OMG IN 23X LAWL

[Mygic]

Great! U all must be very very smart to do this. Awesome, 5/5.

[JELLOFACTORY]

how much is this contraption

[uryy91]

Oh my god, it's simply amazing! What did you study? Computer engineering or what? :o

[jamie0193]

nice

[happyguys9798]

AWESOME!!

[Slench101]

hmm the very same thing I was thinking of 2 hours before I watched this vid.

[RajmundShow]

lol nice

[youhoo7]

i believe its lagit, that is also quite stunning, no wi want to invent a simmilar machine, all you would have to do is command it to follo algorithems baed on wha toyu tell it

[8isanumber]

wow

[whoisthisguy100]

weird

[mcpharly]

WHOOP! Gig'em Ag's.

[engelillop]

wow

[bloodthirst19]

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!

[bmudri]

to bad it wasnt like lightening

[hipposrule4]

THATS COOL

[nlilya]

That's crazy!!!

[dldc12345]

that is so cool that what i call tha gang movster oh yeah

[connor550]

that is very good, well done!! ^.^

[jesusxfreak]

insane. it would take me weeks to find a way to program this.

[Aquacat26]

Thats cool!

[airick3001]

sop commenting to your self

[jakobraham]

one simple question. WHY?

[MegaMonkeyExtreme]

thats cool

[skierplaterandy]

this is really cool. best design ive seen so far.

[purpletune1225]

coolio! did you make that of can I buy it?

[hugo199410]

ROFL, i just find that very funy

[AllenBetches]

dude i saw this robot do a 5x5x5 in 8 seconds

[ripstikguy300]

cool

[Fifteenpigs]

did you just have a long conversation with yourself?

[lespaulist]

wow thats awesome you should try and make it go really fast and try to break some record!!

[NakedSnake95]

looks kinda cool!

[signuputub]

nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

[shadow9x1a79]

i want!

[r3dbl4ck]

that's pretty sweet

[shamedawg4lyf]

whats the algoritham ?

[crashbam2]

but see why would u need that when you could solve it since you are a genius and built that thing?

[astronomicat]

why do you post so many comments on your own video

[dongmaster44]

hahahah when it first spun, it made me jump. i wasnt expecting that hahah

[collinsoxfan]

kool

[mak3myda3]

omg LIES lol this thing is awesome, how does it turn?

[Leblond111]

Hi, its pretty cool, but how to you enter the parameter of the cube ? Does the system see it with a camera of something ?&

[RSvetchi]

awesome

[tobytse99]

Self replying??

[mistyisgood123]

i could do a real rubicks cube in less than 4 seconds!!!

[exonerator]

OMG IT MOVED
