If you know about / have made new robots, the wiki page is always a good place to document them. ;)

Thanks for the suggestion - yes, I'll do that sometime :-)

<< IAssemble types furiously... LOL >>

In approximate order of appearance:

+ ARM Powered Nokia and LEGO Rubik's Cube Solver
+ ARM Powered LEGO/Nokia 4x4x4 Rubik's Cube Solver
+ Yellow Cube Machine
+ MultiCuber 2x2x2, 3x3x3, 4x4x4, 5x5x5
+ ARM Powered Nokia/LEGO Speedcuber
+ MultiCuber 6x6x6
+ ARM Powered Android Speedcuber
+ ARM Powered Android LEGO MultiCuber 777
+ Android Megaminxer

<< and there are more to come...! >>

Yes, I'll add this lot soon and get Mike to add details for his amazing CubeStormer too! :-)
 
Thanks for your comment.

The 1. 2. 3. thing was mostly a joke, but If I were to make a cube solving robot, I would try to make it compatible with many cubes. So it would even work with mini cubes. I also think it would be cool for one to solve different types of puzzles, and even shape-shifters! (challenging, I know) Whoa, I need a LEGO set!

Out of curiosity: if you programmed simple arms on it so it could insert the cube itself and use a stackmat, would it be competition legal?

I guess you haven't seen that Mike got most of the way there with an addition to his amazing CubeStormer? ;-)

IAssemble, what do you plan to work on next (or what are working on now)?

Sorry, but it's a well-guarded secret.... ;-) Or should I say secrets! ;-)

I have already finished another LEGO Rubik's Cube solver that is quite different from any of my others and depending on a couple of factors I hope to publish a video for this on my YouTube channel www.youtube.com/IAssemble in the next couple of weeks.

I have also adapted one of my existing robots to solve a different puzzle and will probably publish a video for this on the ARMflix channel at www.youtube.com/ARMflix in a couple of months or so.

I have ideas for at least two more designs after that when I can find time... :-)

And I'm working with a friend on something too...

Sorry I don't want to give away any more detail than that at the moment! :-)
 
I'm guessing that the one that you adapted was the megaminxer to solve the pyraminx. But did I give you an idea earlier? With the adjustable rings?
 
I bet you are making adjustable rings!
But anyway... on the multicuber how did it know what size it was? Like 2x2x2 3x3x3 4x4 5x5x5 6x6x6

Adjustable rings? ... not saying ;-)

In the "Relay" video MultiCuber was just programmed to expect the cubes in that order although it would be straightforward to recognise the cube sizes by analysing the spacing and number of black lines during the image processing.

The software has different parameters for each cube size so it can rotate the square rings by a slightly different amout in order to align the turns correctly. MultiCuber 777 also has to turn by a slightly different amount for each layer to compensate for the curved surfaces.

What solver did you use for the big cubes? Or did you program it yourself?
