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.

  1. Why is this suprising? by jjr · · Score: 0, Troll

    There are already solutions out there for solving Rubik Cube puzzles. So the only thing you would have to do is figure out how to move the cube and decipher the colors.
    I am not saying I can just go out and do it tommorow but this hardly comes as a suprise.
    Have Fun

    Franky, this post and posts like this disgust me. This is *SLASHDOT* for god sakes; the haven of all geeks, dorks, and nerds. I would have assumed that at least 75% of us know how to solve a Rubik's cube! Why all these clearly nongeeky posts talking about taking apart the cube and putting it back together in order, or peeling off the stickers and putting them on correctly? We should be complaining about how inefficent his program at solving the cube is (40 moves? Please!!) and bragging about how fast and frequently we each individually can solve a cube.

    I, for instance, did my rubik's cube three times in the two minutes it took me to write this post. Without looking. Beat that.
