This cube was completely disassembled and reassembled for the experiment.

Neat. Now do cancer.

I don’t understand these records. Like why does this matter since at these sub second records it’s literally a matter of “how many rotations to complete the algorithm” which would mean you could fake it by having a starting point with fewer rotations.
Am I missing something?

Damn it takes me 2 minutes on a good day.

I could probably solve one too if I pulled 6 tiles off

For anyone that can’t work one and thinks they would never be able to, there is a lady who is a school teacher that breaks it down with very easy to remember mnemonic devices (memory hacks like a nursery rhyme). It’s the one layer at a time version. You work out the first layer yourself, very easy, white cross, sunflower etc, then nursery rhymes for the second layer. Then the algorithms for the last layer. She makes it all very simple and teaches children to do it. You can absolutely do it. Don’t think for a second you cant. It will take 6-8 minutes to work once you figure it out. It may take you several hours or a day or 2 just keep going. Then you can learn the f2l version where you work the first 2 layers at the same time hence the abbreviation (f2l) and apply the algorithms for the last layer and it takes me about 2 minutes at my fastest time. You can do it. Its not an IQ thing. Its a patience thing. I only learned it because of a combination of 3 things…My friend gave me one and it was sitting on my kitchen table unsolved, I have severe adhd, and I didn’t want to wash a sink full of dirty dishes. If you avoid responsibility you can do it too. Trust me.

Nice, that’s my alma mater.

Time for those weird finger-counting kids to beat that..

How does this machine rotate each face and how do they get the axes frictionless enough to rotate this fast? That’s the true feat

Sorry, but a robot solving a rubik’s cube is not as impressive as a human solving one. Computing is literally what computers do.
The process of designing and building the robot is the interesting thing here, not that it solved a rubik’s cube.

✅ solving rubix cubes as fast as possible

the first time i played the video i blinked and missed it, good thing there was a slow-mo version

Impressive but my wife says I’m faster
My son is a cuber
