I thought about it a little bit, and you could start with having servo motors in a cube that you can program ahead of time to make whichever turns you want.
In 2050, we could have competitions, where the solvers have a cube with the system in it, then there are cubes mounted all around the venue that move as the speed cuber moves so the people can watch those cubes and gather around them instead of crowding the speedcuber.
In 2190 when cubing is...
It would be kinda cool if pieces had an indent for the sticker, so that the top of the sticker is flush with the plastic.
The stickers would be easier to apply, you could still get fluorescent colors, and they would not chip.
