When Lego Meet Rubik

Posted by ryuzaki0 on 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.

    The plural of Lego is Lego, not Legos.

  2. The correct name for these bricks is LEGOS by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Redundant

    With an 'S'. Its a plural. This cube solving robot isn't made from one Lego brick, it is made from lots and lots of LEGOS.

    While the physical cube can currently not be built, you can solve it through the portal of your computer screen.

    Magic Cube 4D

    I think 6 rotations was my highest difficulty solution, 5 is hard, 4 is difficult, 3 and less is cake.
