Cubestormer - Fastest Cubing Robot

[Edward]

Why would it need to rotate mid-solve? Isn't rotation normally just to make algorithms faster to execute for human solvers?

Well it can't do F or B moves...

FightCube!!! FightCube!!!

I'd like to see a Faz vs Robot vid.

The difference in times between the two solves was quite big, I wonder why?

i wonder how fast the fastest robot can solve a 4x4. sub-30?

It can't.

 

[Herbert Kociemba]

Can anyone reproduce the scramble and the solve? I'd like to know if the solve is optimal, because there's essentially no time for calculation. I guess it could be solving with a human method, the TPS is crazy fast, but I think it was less than 25ftm for the "random cube".

The TPS is not fast at all compared to a good human solver. It's not using any method I'm aware of.

Frankly, I would like to see some more proof that this is legitimate before I believe it at all.

I know from the creator that it uses Cube Explorer to generate the solution.

What a surprise

Thanks for the confirmation.

they give the robot no inspection time

According to GWR it's not allowed inspection.

Surely thats unfair! It deserves the full 15 seconds

Perhaps I should have been more clear. Why didn't the designer allow it to make F or B moves?

1. The designer isn't much of a cuber, so he didn't know what F or B moves are :3
2. The designer realized that F or B would be complicated to do without arms in the front and back, so to save time and effort, he made it so that the robot does a rotation instead.
I'd go with 2.

Lol.

Holy bejesus.
