CUBOTino: A small, simple, 3D printed, inexpensive Rubik's Cube solver robot
- roryisok 3y ago"inexpensive". I love that. Like we're all searching for rubik's cube solver robots for our loved ones for christmas but they're all just too damn pricey!
- quchen 3y agoIt didn't say it's in high demand, and compared to the other solver robot you can buy (from Gan, probably the only one available) - 100-ish € - it'll certainly be cheaper. I have a feeling though that this isn't about solving a cube but rather about building a cube solver o : - )
- baldeagle 3y agoThat was cute and a little magical. I may build one with my 8yr this winter break. One suggestion - it looks like you could have a standard 'learn the cube' program where the webcam is off to one side of the robot, to remove that little bit of friction.
- xeonmc 3y agocould this potentially be low-cost enough to replace manual scrambler volunteers at cubing competitions?
- nsilvestri 3y agoWCA Delegate here. The limiting factor generally isn't cost, but the need to handle cubes of various sizes and other puzzles entirely. Having a robot that can only scramble a 3x3 isn't useful for the majority of competitions.
- thomasmg 3y agoThere is a Lego Mindstorms Rubik's Cube solver robot as well: https://mindcuber.com/ https://mindcuber.com/ It is a bit slow, but it seems to work. Here are some videos: https://www.youtube.com/user/IAssemble/videos https://www.youtube.com/user/IAssemble/videos
- piraccini 3y agoYes, I did both (the lego mindstorm one and the cubotino). Cubotino is an awesome project, it's perfect to introduce robotics to kids (assuming a good 3D printer is available)
