Proud Staff MemberOk, this is just cool...
ADVERTS 1
I saw this on Gizmodo today. I love it! Some amazing programming required for both the phone and the Lego NXT.

Proud Staff MemberHaving programmed those NXTs, I am way impressed by the ability to get it to turn that cube -- never mind getting the phone software to both calculate the moves and then communicate it to the bot. Not easy.

Thanks for sharing that Mike. This led me to do some googling of my own and I discovered the Rubik's cube has been done by a large number of people using all sorts of robotics including one that resembles a human shape robot.

This brings back memories...
The original Rubik Cube was the first real world application of group theory (outside of particle physics). The algorithm written in Fortran (less than 100 lines of code) and running on a 286 would get all moves in a few seconds. The robot interface is another issue altogether...

Proud Staff MemberI am guessing they did not use the stock NXT firmware - and probably flashed it with a third-party rom, running one of several languages. That would make a lot more sense than the really limiting software the NXT ships with (I own one, and a few of the older mindstorm RCXs - which we used to flash with variations of the logo programming language.
