Lego Mindstorms Robot Solves Rubix Cube

via Geekologie.

Every time I sit back and think of how nerdy I can be, I encounter something like this magnificent MINDSTORMS creation that affirms my normalcy. While I can't claim that I don't think this is insanely cool, I can say that I'm glad that someone else is dedicating their time to such useless pursuits while I plug away at work and occasionally at this very website.

Back to the robot though, this thing can solve a cube in an average time of just around 6 minutes, which includes 1minute for scanning, just under a minute for calculating, and the remaining 4.5 minutes for solving.. Now if I could just learn how to solve one of these goddamn things period...
