Bram's Rocket

Buy at http://www.shapeways.com/model/56379/bram_s_rocket.html Copyright (c) 2009 Bram Cohen & M.Oskar van Deventer. This puzzle has seven cubes moving through a frame. The cubes change orientation when moving. The object is to get all colors right. The design is an idea by Bram Cohen, hence the name of this puzzle.

This puzzle was 3D-printed using nylon-powder SLS technology, which explains its price. It is the very first prototype, costing its designer and maker a lot of money to create. Please do not confuse it for a cheap mass-produced puzzle.

is it harder to solve than bram's black hole?

[OskarPuzzle]

I have no idea. No person has ever managed to solve either puzzle. My intuition says that Bram's Black Hole is the harder puzzle.

how do u scramble this thing properly?

[OskarPuzzle]

Scramble: Move the cubes around randomly for a minute.

Who cares about NASA, This is how i am going to space!

[kastellorizo]

Bram's Black Hole is a little bit more difficult than the Rocket, because the puzzle in the above video has less variety in angles.

To put in another way, it is the same as connecting and merging the bottom bases of two Bram's Holes, and then, since there are no more bottom bases, we won't have the option of the other three other types of rotation (which exist are at the bottom base of Bram's Hole).
