When Lego Meet Rubik

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Friday September 7, 2001 @03:02AM from the putting-a-good-face-on-things dept.

Credit goes to memepool for bringing you word of Lego robot that solves Rubik's Cubes. This is one of the most jaw-dropping things I've ever seen. Dedication is defined as rebuilding "left and right grabbers six times (and the bottom grabber four times) trying elastic bands, Technic shocks, and pneumatics" in order to grasp that little cube.

I heard on Tech TV that Stephen Hawking has warned us about the evolutionary rate of computers being faster than that of humans. If we don't start evolving faster, he said, computers will become so smart that they will take over the world. I believe that this is the first step toward our demise....

You would think that a company that can build hardware and software to solve a mechanical rubik's cube would also be able to create a website that could resist the slashdot onslaught.
