I think this was posted before though.

I so want one of those

That was awesome.

You said 6x6.. but it didn't do 6x6. I was upset.

edit:
6x6 is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xfeTQIOHGw&feature=related

Yay! Sub 100 move 4x4 solve!
Yay! Sub 200 move 5x5 solve!
Yay! Lego relay robot!
Yay! The future is here!

 

[tecnikal]

My bad. but this is still worth posting again. xD

Thanks all - I'm glad you like the my "MultiCuber" solvers... I just joined Speedsolving so I could get to chat with some "real" speedcubers

Have you seen my latest "MultiCuber 777" creation that was posted on ARMflix recently?

Thanks - glad you liked it!

Wow, it must have been tricky to get it to precisely rotate however many layers you want on a cube that big. Impressive

Yes, it was quite a challenge to make it precise enough, particularly because of the curved faces of the V-CUBE 7!

Thanks

I've been working on another LEGO puzzle solving robot for a while now and you may like to know it was uploaded to YouTube a few days ago.

I hope you enjoy watching "Android Megaminxer"...

Woah, that's incredible! I can't even get my head around the scanning process for a minx.

Thanks cubeflip.

And yes, my friend Mike did an amazing job with CubeStormer didn't he! I also think he's a talented musician and you might like to know he has kindly allowed me to use some of his music on most of the videos on my YouTube channel (including the MultiCuber robots about which this thread was started) such as "Yellow Cube Machine":

Enjoy.

Thanks. The scanning was tricky... the worst part was the fact that some of the 12 colours, particularly the light, mid and dark greens are relatively similar compared to the 6 colours typically found on the cubic puzzles. It was a challenge to distinguish them reliably.

1. Robot that solves 2x2x2, 3x3x3, 4x4x4, 5x5x5, 6x6x6, 7x7x7
2. ???????
3. Profit!

But anyway... Can the multicuber 777 also solve the smaller cubes? I wasnt sure since there were no videos of it solving other cubes, but it was still called the multicuber.

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

Thanks for your comment.

1. Interesting idea...

When I came up with the name "MultiCuber" I considered the "Multi" stood for cubes with multiple layers but soon realised that it could also mean solvers capable of solving multiple different cubes. I actually really consider that MultiCuber is the name for a whole family of designs based around a common principle.

Yes, the black MultiCuber robot was shown first solving a 6x6x6 cube:

And it can also solve the 5x5x5 Rubik's Cube. The range of cubes that each robot can solve is limited mainly by the physical size of the cubes. The cubes are turned by using two square "rings". The rings have to be large enough for the largest cube to fit inside them but small enough so that the physically smallest cube does not freely rotate within the rings. You may notice on the existing 2x2x2-5x5x5 video that the 2x2x2 cube is only just big enough to work. I'd either need a set of larger 2x2x2 thru 4x4x4 cubes to work in the larger MultiCuber or adapt a design to have adjustable or multiple rings. Now that's an interesting idea... ;-)

3. Hmm - not interested in profit.

My LEGO robotic designs are intended to be for sharing, entertainment, education and fun!
