Rubik's cub solver done with Lego Mindstorms!

Joi Ito's Web: Rubik's cube solver done in Lego


This has got to be one of the most interesting mindstorm robots I've seen. Rubik's Cube solutions are very "robotic" in nature -- do this, then this, then this, then see a finished puzzle -- so it makes complete sense that someone could do it. However, doing a robot to do the moves based on camera input is pretty impressive. Even more impressive is that it's done with truly off-the-shelf parts.

Needless to say, but this might actually be a use for our two (I think we still have two) mindstorm sets. ;)

More information here.
