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."

A very well deserved 1.5M views - well done Mike! :-)

[RoboticSolutions]

@IAssemble Thankyou David, very well spotted! :-)

[TheSmetsi]

the solve in 10 sec. were just 21 steps, so the cube isn't random or you discovered the method to solve the cube in around 20 steps. the machine is nice but the solving is fake!

[RoboticSolutions]

@TheSmetsi Sorry, the cube was only 20 moves from solved, unfortunately it is impossible to scramble any further

[alchemistEXE2]

There's another Cube Stormer, and it solves cubes even faster. Although this cubestormer is aesthetically better...

[RoboticSolutions]

@alchemistEXE2 Thanks, I think when you see the whole machine you may change your mind however, I put more time into the asthetical apearance of CSII than i did for CS1, l hope to release another video of CubeStormer II on my channel sometime soon.

@Brandson1000 I have tried to focus on the standard 3x3x3 cube, mechanically it could solve a 2x2x2 with a change of software, a very good friend of mine has devised a single machine which can solve all kinds of different cubes...check out "IAssemble" 's channel here on YouTube!

nice

that

was

cool

[R4nd0m0s1ty]

@TheSmetsi Every single possibility of the 43 quintillion ones in a rubik's cube (besides solved) can be solved in 20 moves or less. I remember watching a video and Google lended the use of their super computers to find that number.

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.

Cool

@londonjimbob You mean 5.38. Is what Feliks Zemdegs got it 2011.

[londonjimbob]

human - 6.24

I wish I could make one of these

i remember when the lego's were just blocks
