Hi! we are here to tell you about our awesome Rubik’s cube solver:

youtube mindcuber video  The ultrasonic sensor sends out sound waves not light to sense the Rubik’s cube when it is there. The motors turn to hold/flip the cube, turn the base and move the light. The color sensor detects color to interpret how to flip it. the NXT is the brain that controls the parts and stores the info.

So, this is mindstorms! Our Lego robotics kit.  If you are interested, then go to www.mindcuber.com. You can get the code there and there are 112 pages of instructions you can follow to build it! Then you can have your own! but beware! it took a reallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy long time. it was a lot of de-bugging and waiting for a piece but it was worth it :P. You can make a lot of other stuff with mindstorms to! like alpha rex and tri-bot. The possibilities are endless!  but the great thing about the Rubik’s cube solver is it solves it on its own! NO human involvement! we did not have to flip it a certain way or stuff like that! It is amazing! bye! see you on our next post!
