LEGO Mindstorms Rubik’s Cube Solver

All of this was built and programmed using the Lego Mindstorms NXT Retail-kit. Awesome!

From Tilted Twister:

Tilted Twister solves Rubik’s cube fully automatically.
Just place the scrambled cube on Tilted Twister’s turntable. An ultrasonic sensor detects its presence and starts to read the colors of the cube faces using a light sensor. The robot turns and tilts the cube in order to read all the faces. It then calculates a solution and executes the moves by turning, tilting and twisting the cube.

Here’s a video:
