Worlds Fastest Rubik's Cube solving Robot

Quote:"How does the cube not pop?"
It's not a cube, it's a continuum transfunctioner.
 
They could write the software to allow a certain amount of corner cutting, so it would not have to complete a whole move before the next. That should shave some time off.

They are using a zanchi right now. Might not be the most modern cube though.
 
What size Zhanchi are they using?
I would design the equipment around the 42mm model if I was going to attempt this, it has the potential for more speed, I think.
 
With reference to the hand scrambling, I noticed this on the Guinness site here about a previous record:

Following the Guinness World Records guidelines, the cube had to meet the stipulations of the World Cube Association, and was scrambled prior to the attempt according to the official rules that human Rubik's cube competitors abide by.
 
This is so much less impressive than the Cube Stormer robot tbh. The Cube Stormer does not require these modifications to the cube and scans the cube beforehand, and all that in four seconds. This one just uses six very accurate motors, and moves of the solution translate 1:1 to the motor twists. Nothing special behind that if you ask me.
