mindcuber

So as an experiment for a science fair, I'm recording the speed of the MindCuber robot's solving ability and comparing it to human solving ability. I was hoping to have some participation from people who actually know how to solve the cube. If anyone is willing to participate, know that you...

I was inspired by a few people's comments to modify the MindCuber software to be able to "solve" to patterns instead of the normal solved position... Oh - and I borrowed a few NXTs and motors from some of my other robots! ;) Enjoy!

I am no speedcuber, and am in total awe of all of you who are... However, many people who have seen my LEGO Rubik's Cube solving robots have asked me about my cube-solving abilities. So I finally thought I'd make a video for fun!

I thought it would be interesting to start a competition to build the most minimalistic 3x3x3 cube solver with the fewest number of individual Lego Mindstormer components. Speed is not important, but the solving should be at least 90% reliable, on a flat surface, with no additional external...

By popular request, I designed a new version of MindCuber that you can build from the original LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT set #8527 (rather than the more recent NXT 2.0). I intend to publish build instructions and executable program for this robot in the near future so that more people have the...
