A Rubik’s Cube solver!!! It uses just the retail kit. It seems like a simple design but would be a complex program. The following is some specks on it:

 

  • Scanning the cube: 1 minute
  • Calculating a solution: 20 – 40 seconds
  • Executing the moves: 1 – 5 minutes. Average 4.5 minutes (60 faceturns)
  • Average total time: 6 minutes

Here is his website and a video of it in action.

(Edit) The Maker has added the LDD File and Program files on his site, so head on over there and build one for yourself.
