LEGO Minstorm Set Solves Rubik's Cube - Geekologie

That's just too cool. You gotta wonder how these guys program such complicated maneuvers in Lego Mindstorms fashion.

Lego is a bit more sophisticated than I remember !!!!!!!!!

Never could do that rubik cube, unpeeling the stickers and moving them around was the only way to solve it

I love the rubix. I used to be able to post sub 1min 30 sec times. Certainly nowhere near record setting but I also used several small algorithms instead of the giant one to solve them all the experts use.

Wow. I remember programming in RoboLab my freshman year in first year engineering. We had a hard time getting the optical sensor to follow a damn line. This is beyond incredible considering the medium.

of course the robot isn't quite as fast as this guy - current record holder.

A kid who lived a few doors down from me in the freshman dorms last year could solve the cube in 13 or 14 seconds. Cool to watch. I'm still more impressed by the robot though.

What helps is the robots can be programed in C. The graphical programmer is way too confusing for anything let alone solving a cube.
