So I had this idea of a new type of SmartCube and speedsolving trainer robot (like Gan Robot)
First of all, how does a traditional smartcube work?
Smartcubes today have Bluetooth connectivity, allowing you to pair them with your smartphone, tablet, or computer. This enables you to send the cube's state in real-time to the connected device. However, these smartcubes are expensive and very sophisticated.
There's a relatively inexpensive way to create a magic cube using magnets. If you have 27 magnetized cubies, you can create a magic cube relatively cheaply. All you need are materials like plastic and magnets, which you can 3D print at home or buy for cheap on the internet.
If we combine this with technology like NFC, by putting a chip inside each cubies or even QR codes on a cube side that's not visible when the cube is assembled, facilitating scanning by camera, we can place an identifier in each cubie. This would allow us to have a kind of magic cube training robot. Imagine the following:
You have two of these cubes. You place one of the cubes inside a machine, and the machine scrambles it for you, literally disassembling it into layers and then separating the cubies, reading the NFC tags or QR codes to know which cubie is which. Then, it reassembles your cube and gives it to you scrambled in a specific position, determined by software (it could be a fully scrambled cube, a specific algorithm, or a random case like an OLL or F2L case).
You would always have one cube scrambled and another being scrambled while you're training, maximizing your training session.
What you guys think??
