CubeStormer

The Worlds Fastest Lego Mindstorms RCX Speedcubing Robot. Built entirely from lego elements with a lego web camera to scan the faces of the cube, The solve engine (algorithm) running on the computer is provided by the incredible "Cube Explorer "software which also provides the colour recognition required to determine the exact location of each coloured square. Thanks to Herbert Kociemba for making his work available to anyone wishing to use it! Respect! "Cube Explorer" has the ability to produce very fast solutions to a successfully scanned cube, usually around 20 face turns! Doesn't sound a lot , but it has been proven that 20 turns are enough to solve ANY 3x3x3 cube combination. Special thanks to David Gilday for his assistance with the software interface to "Cube Explorer."

robotic arms that develop the hub are connected to the pc?

[RoboticSolutions]

Yes, The 4 x LEGO RCX units receive IR Messages from a "LEGO USB tower",

What's the robot's solving method?



[RoboticSolutions]

This version of Cubestormer uses "Cube Explorer" by Herbert Kociemba, it is close to optimal and rarely produces a solution over 20 moves.

Sorry to rain on your technological parade, but when I looked carefully, the machine truly twisted the cube only four times. To solve a cube in only four real twists? I don't believe that's possible. But you have to take into consideration that I'm only one person. If you believe I am correct, give my comment a thumb's up. If not, thumb's down. I have to say that it's a great machine, though. I sure as heck couldn't make it!

Great job.

In a partial way.

The final solve was only four moves and was just an example of a partially scrambled cube, The main solve in the video( 10.75 seconds) was typical of most cube combinations. It was the fastest machine at the time. I have since developed Cubestormer II with my good friend David Gilday and it is twice as quick ;-)

There's always some retard proclaiming everything to be fake because they're too ignorant to understand what's going on.

Awesome machine, it even looks great.

what is the music?

Does it work by scanning the cube configuration initially and then running the necessary sequence?

Very cool project!

[Haloproductions10011]

6 seconds slower than the CubeStormer II

[minertitoofhell]

where can i buy it?

[IAssemble]

Have you seen our more recent CubeStormer II? ;-)

[LuckyJayJet]

Feliks is still faster

[cojack622]

that awesome

[garrett brown]

Will u sell it 2 me 4 5$
