Lego Robot Solves Bigger and Harder Rubik's Cubes

kkleiner writes "It was only two months ago that we saw Mike Dobson's Cube Stormer Lego robot that could solve any 3x3 Rubik's cube in less than 12 seconds. You would think that there was only one person in the world crazy enough and talented enough to pull this off, but now we have found someone else that is just as amazing. The latest Rubik's cube-solving Lego monstrosity is called the MultiCuber, and although it's constructed out of nothing but Mindstorms components and a laptop, it can solve 2×2, 3×3, 4×4, and 5×5 cubes all in the same build! As if that weren't enough, a larger version solves the dreaded 6×6 Rubik's. We discovered the MultiCuber when its creator, David Gilday (IAssemble), wrote us an email to brag about its puzzle-solving might. Consider us impressed, sir."

    You forgot "bigger and harder" in the title. This whole thread is just one big Freudian slit.

    I go to parties where such comments are the norm :-p

    You might be surprised at the level of geekiness in some circles and how well they can party ;)

    You know you have geeky friends when one of the girls refers to her clitoris as "the win button" :-p
