A Cubestormer 3 robot based on a Galaxy S4 Android phone and eight Linux-driven Lego Mindstorms EV3 bricks aims to beat the Rubik’s Cube solving record.
The Cubestormer 3 was formally unveiled today at the Big Bang Fair held in Birmingham, UK, and is expected to beat the 5.27 second record set by the Cubestormer 2 in 2011 when it competes on Mar. 15 in a Guinness World Records competition. The cube-solving robot was developed over a period of 18 months by ARM principal engineer David Gilday and Mike Dobson, a security systems engineer for Securi-Plex, with backing from ARM.
