VOTW: Nokia N95 Solves a Rubik's Cube.

My old friendò€¦ The Rubik"s cube was the bane of my existence growing up. As a kid, I pried my dad"s apart with a butter knife and reassembled it so it looked like I had solved the puzzle. While it was nothing compared to my old man"s time of roughly 37 seconds, I was pretty proud of myself for cheating the classic puzzle. Then, when I was about seven years old, I left it in the driveway and it got hit by a neighbor"s car. Bye-bye Rubik"s Cube. I haven"t seen a solved Rubik"s cube since so this video really brought back memories. Usually we"d give extra points for solving a 4x4x4 cube but given that this is a computer programmed to solve the puzzle, we don"t think it matters how big the cube is. Using an ARM processor, a lot of LEGO technic pieces and a Nokia N95, this machine scans each side of the puzzle, maps out the cube and then solves the puzzle accordingly.
