  • NERD PORNO

  • @cannedkitty your kidding right? these are college kids doing an assignment, so....

  • @heysmall yeah we spent millions of dollars to teach a robot to solve a rubiks cube while other countries are unlocking mysteries of quantum physics particles, cybernetic prosethetics, curing diseases and modernizing infrastructure. yeah you could say i'm jealous of other countries.

  • @knoxianpanda they spent 20 million dollars of grant money to make this. now tell me it isn't bullshit

  • @cannedkitty That's the point. It's supposed to be simple. This isn't some ground breaking project they were working on, their task was to simply involve robotics and a rubik's cube in which the machine would solve the cube. If you're so picky about it, make your own and upload it.

  • 1:30 Judge says "start of your 15 second inspection time" 1:40 Judge says "sorry, the inspection is over the time limit, I'll have to take that down as a DNF, you may leave now... come on, leave, stop inspecting the cube, you have finished, hey! I said your turn is over so stop solving!....... WOOAAHH!!!! you should have entered the fewest moves solve, you just got a new WR, 20 moves HTM!" (ROBOT SAYS NOTHING) Judge says" hello? helloo,can yo hear me?

  • @cannedkitty jealous kid is jealous

  • ok ok now what is the use?

  • This isn't really impressive. It's just a combination of long existing presently common technologies that have been hooked up together and put into performance to entertain easily amused idiots on youtube. No wonder america sucks at science now.
