in soviet russia, cube solves you

[IAssemble]

All of my designs, including MultiCuber, calculate the entire solution immediately after the initial scan is complete. If you watch the video in full-screen HD at about 1:12 you can see messages on the smartphone's screen below the diagram of the cube including "Move 13 of 474" which demonstrates that the solution (in this case 474 moves long) was already determined before the mechanical solve started.

i want that app

So.. on 7x7, Humans are faster than Robots

noooooo vcubes!!!

Now do this with an iPhone(granted it's not a 4 or the one before it). I think not.

the moment your heart sinks when you realise a elecronically powered lego creation can beat a human at a cube puzzle. well done to who made this....

oh..seems legit.. ok thx :D

Why is this downvoted so much? It's an honest mistake, the first time I saw the layout of the timer I had a split second of "holy crap 30+ hours?? That's really inefficient for a robot" but realized rather quickly that it was in minutes.

The phone is the brain behind the robots moves. The phone scans the cube to map out the position of every cube, comes up with the solution, and then tells the robot every move to make. Without the phone, the robot is worthless and has no instructions to solve it.

Now make it do the cube in a cube pattern...

[Shadownrun2]

it maps the cube with its camera,compute the movements and send the data to the NXT using bluetooth

because the NXT's processor is too slow
