Hello Mr. Anderssom, can You post instruction on implementing and working your java application TiltedTwister, since I cannot be able to do working this. Please post on your website tiltedtwister.com. Thank You very much.
how to beat tilted twister ( #LOL ): 1- mix the cube 2- give tilted twister it 3- when it is solved, remove all the stickers on that side, except the center one 4- now that the cube has 6 out of 54 stickers, take a camera and press the REC button, pointing to tilted twister so you can record him 5- repeat step 2 and watch him explode
I agree - VERY NICE! This was possibly the first stand-alone LEGO solver to work on it's own without a pc or laptop - very impressive. If you're interested, there are lots of others out there too - I've favourited some of them on my channel (click on my IAssemble).
Yeah, that was my first reaction too. The algos for the cube are pretty well known. He'd just have to get a book on the topic and be all set. The mechanical side is what impresses me here. I've seen lego cube solvers before, but this is a unique way to go about it. Very nice!
@catbearlol Except that there's a whole WEBSITE dedicated to this thing, including building instructions, and source code... So yes, there certainly is a way to know that the computer actually figured that one out.
I'll Tell you what's wrong with mine... First, it suffers, then i give him the cube and he says thank you! He scans the colours, then the tray never stops spinning. What's wrong with it??????!!!!!!!
@RoboticSolutions - you're too modest! I agree that Tilted Twister is fantastic since it is w pure LEGO solution without the aid of a laptop etc. but your CubeStormer is absolutely amazing!?! :-)
@IAssemble - Thanks, but what you have done excels even that...a single machine which can solve no less that FOUR different cube sizes (2x2,3x3,4x4,5x5....!!!, who is being modest now? :-)
@RoboticSolutions - you're very generous - I think your "Cubestormer" is just amazing - a LEGO robot solving a Rubik's cube in under 11 seconds - phenominal!?!? :-)
@MegaLegomaniac123 i really like that u don't get the point. all I'm saying is producing, inventing, time and the resources needed for that robot is far longer that an actual knife, its a robot for the most useless simple things, wich is really lame and stupid. and if people want to event a robot, then why not invent something that is for any use at all? am i the only one thinking that robot is a waste of everything?
Yes bryant, you are obviously highly intelligent. It would be quite easy to make the video like that. However, I am sure you heard of this thing called gravity. Maybe you should pay closer attention to the way the machine pushes the cube and it falls into the cradle as it is released. I'm sure even Wikipedia could help you understand this concept better than you already do [not]. Please reconsider breeding in the future. Thanks.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmnmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm try to find the n :D
@LaNague: I can only imagine that this kind of approach would be incredibly easily implemented using Prolog, but the first working combination of steps doesn't necessarily have to be the shortest one, it may actually be of infinite length...In fact, there's no way of determining a not working path, since there's no end to a path until the cube is actually solved. It could either take ages finding a short path, or physically solving the cube using the best working path, no matter how long it is.
i had a hard time building this for a school project... the instructions claim that the robot only requires 1 standard kit, while i needed two because there weren't enough pieces in that kit. Also, the color sensor isn't part of a standard kit, only the black/white color sensor comes with it, so it had to be ordered separately
@highlightenment i might have been a little unclear. and excuse me for not knowing how a fucking childs toy works. my point was that there is no way for us to know that the computer actually figured that one out, and it wasnt preprogrammed to do these exact moves no matter what the position of the square things. stupid dogshit internet hero.
Keep the camera farther away and you won't even need to rotate it. Think about it. You can use a lens or something to zoom in if that's a problem. By the way, if you really dig, you can find
Why would he do that? It's not all that difficult to write a program that will solve a rubics cube, that's the EASY part.... The robot and the program to control the movements is the hard part. Scanning the cube, moving it and all that, that's the hard part here, the solver is downright simple... (Espcially if you don't try very hard to minimize the number of steps needed)
That's pretty awesome! I took a lot at the code though and it's not exactly finding the most efficient way to solve the puzzle. It's simply doing an algorithm that is guaranteed to solve it in 60 turns. He should write the code so that it calculates the fastest way to solve it. He'd probably find that it would be able to solve it MUCH faster.
holly crap now that is crazy now you have to program one that can do the other cube that has 16 sides man I cant even do that in like 130 years let a lone in 4 minutes or so dam you have to be one smart person to even beable to program it and the lagrage used just for the midstorm stuff that is remarkable wow man I want to see more of what you do.
Yes thiscomes ready out of the box as a kit by Lego and you canuse bluetooth to remote control ot. It has acolor sorter option which is what it uses to solve Rubiks. Credit to the designer for establishing the interface between program and hardware (servos etc.), which is not easy.
Your superficial IQ would go through the roof from the current situation if you started using some punctuation and capital letters between sentences. The kind of continuous mind flow that you're putting out is a real pain in the ass to read. Just a suggestion.
shit, help me out, I dont know where to get NXC or bricx..vista home premium 32 bit.. i only have the NXT-G programming software, so how do I open the .nxc type program? what program (s) should I use? also, do I have to make modifications to the program since I got the Hitechnic color sensor?
i always wonder with these rubicks cube videos what ones are real and what ones are played backwards.... i mean it wouldnt be hard to tell. Its like 95% of etch e sketchs pictures on the net are not done with the knobs but are opened and hand drawn and put back together.
@XombeeHive Congratulations, unknown man, for winning the prize for no.#1 annoying man on youtube. And it's just that there are so many fakers in this world at first I couldn't believe it solved it right. Anyhoo, go on talking, I don't care
dear tiltedtwister i have build your tilted twister but it don't work he start turing around, i stopt him than he ask for the cube and he scant one side and than he start turning around to left en he don't stop. can you please fix that, tanx
Good design, but you just put a solved cube in it, make a program to unsolve it, than make another program, but than from end - to - begin (you can do that easily coz I've this myself), and than he solves it:) But however, cool design, I like the 'grabber'
can you post the programming in an easier to acess place, because my computer wont allow me to get the programming. The only reason im asking is because I already built the tilted twister and i dont want to take it apart for nothing
see if the cube is on the basked. it will only move the cube if the sensor can see it. if the cube is removed in the middle of solving then the robot will pause and give a "whoops" sound. it will continue when the ultrasonic sensor can see the cube again.
"Can you do it better?" is a retarded answer. I disagree with dave597, this robot is quite fast (and it only uses two motors except when scanning, which is better than some other solvers I've seen). But of course, making it faster is an important challange.
Would it be able to program 2 different settings one for solving and one for random scrambling so that some one can solve one cube while another is being scrambled? Also if so would you be willing to sell this?
@sggibson1 Actually yes. Not all people think the same way. You know what iq splits up to... For example there are people with bad memory and fast thinking ability, and the ones with good memory and good thinking ability...
I have the same problem, seems like it needs external power supply to operate properly, because motor strength reduces after a couple of scrambling cycles. You can replace your orange faces with a tinfoil or metallic duct tape.
Maybe the light sensor is a fake and the cube was turned in an exactly position before. Then each turn of the robot has been programmed by a human before starting and the light sonsor just moves to impress people ;-)
That's pretty cool. The software probably isn't complicated (there are probably algorithms everywhere), but getting reliable hardware and then condensing the software to the limitations of the hardware would be a fun task. Fun!
AWESOME!!! i did the math by timing the video and (if the times 2 part was correct) it solved the rubix cube in 2 MIN 25 SECONDS!!!! i dont know about anyone else, but i have never solved a rubix cube that fast. GOOD JOB!!
wow..awesome. and the processing is done entirely within the robotics brick? truly awesome. Love the scanning technique and how it doubles as a way to move pieces of the cube. nice job and thanks for sharing.
This is pretty cool, but doesn't it just ruin the whole point of having a rubiks cube? "Oh cool, I bought a puzzle. Now to build a robot to solve it for me." Some people take rubiks cubes and lego too far.
I built this robot and it's arm doesn't turn the cube. The motor that turns the cube stops and because of this the arm isn't taking values. Finally the place of the sensor you showed is too low.
i dont know how powerful the Lego computer thingy is, but you can just make it calculate all steps with try and error and exclude not working paths early, Pcs dont need algorithms for simple stuff.
Jesus....i know that its not overly hard to make something like this, the programing isnt THAT hard, but to have the effort and dedication and design the platform it operates with is amazing well done!
This is brilliant, Hans, imo. Frankly, I thought at least the same of the solver of Benedettelli. Remarkable how you managed to still further simplify things, and to squeeze it out of a single retail set! Respect...
@zombiemom42 yes it will start spinning then it will move the cube then you stop that with ur hand then it asks u for the cube then once it gets it the cube wont stop spinning!
@michael1234252 actually I have no problem anymore. After 36 tests I found the correct location of the sensor it worked. The only problem now is to make steady the location of the sensor.
Hey can some plz tell me where i can find and download the program or tell me how to use cause i really dont know where to find it (the one from tiltedtwister doesnt work =( )
There's som information about it at the author's website, standard NXT light sensor fails at detecting yellow from white and dark blue from green, so custom stickers should be used.
Built it up now the whole day, It really doesn't work for me :( The coordination between the turntable and the light sensor didn't work as it should. Also the tilter motor gets stuck. Help?
I built it and everyone loves it :) My cube only needed white covered with white paper to distinguish from yellow, and green with black paper to distinguish from blue.
Humans Still Faster BTW, is there any robot (not nxt) that can solve the cube in the minimum 17 moves since any cube can be solved in maximum 17 moves if you do the perfect moves
dose the cube have to be a sertan way at the start or dose it know how to do it by its self , do the stickers have a thing that can be picked up so it knows what collers r were
That's pretty awesome.... I hear he's now making robot designs for the D-Wave (Google it if you have no idea what it is... But be prepared for full of boredom)
@asuraywolfgang Well, figuratively... :) You can learn a programming language, but you can't learn to solve a rubik cube, you just need to be smart for that.
There is definately one... There are books about it. You can move every particular block of this cube to another position by following a given algorithm...
he uses the "corners first" method. it uses less algorithm's and only 50-60 move unlike the "layer for layer" witch uses many algorithm's and up to 100 moves.
oh, so you saw an episode of mythbusters. that must make you smart. except its not reversed look how the cube is flipped by the robot. its not possible backwards
"I'm going to go play with my Lego" makes you sound like you could only afford just the one block, though you are technically correct (the best kind of correct).
I always get when I'm solving puzzles like sudoku "I could write an algorithm that can solve this puzzle faster than I am now". Guess I'm not the only one ;)
CARALHO... no meu tempo eu fazia carrinho e casinha de lego.. e fiquei feliz da vida quando comprei o motorzinho cheio de engrenagem... agora o bagulho até pensa sozinho :O
Wow, simplest one I've seen to date. Very few bricks, 2 motors, a light sensor and the LEGO mindstorms brain. How did you program NXT to solve it without a computer? Awesome.
You're supposed to smash the thing into pieces, and assemble them together again in order of color. Messing around in the axis is just a gimmick bonus!
OK I solved these problems but now it says: "sorry can't resolve colors " does it means a problem with the location of the color sensor? Please answer.
@sotos997 the one on the front page of the tilted twister website is for the nxt 2.0. If you need the 1.0 version, it is somewhere on the website also.
i was looking at one of those. they have one i want at radioshack. i wish i could just steal it. hahha. jk, but it would be nice to get it for free! :P
Am I the only one who thinks this thing isn't really "solving" it but simply fullfilling a set of preprogrammed instructions with a predefined r-cube?!
Awesome! I've wondered if a Rubik's Cube solver could be built with only the pieces in the NXT kit. This might be something I will have to try building.
The robot just scanned in the entire cube at the beginning, calculated the solving algorithm and executed it. This is real bro
this is insane man
Yea good luck I have benn working on this for about two days now and am still making adjustments.
Well there those are chance to stop the robot invasion by throwing rubic cubes at them, thank alot!
All hail robot overlords!
@lucaogmichael123456 there is actual a mindstorm robot that can cut a cake evenly into how many pieces you want check it out its cool.
Thats amazing can you make a tutorial on how to build and program it
That´s f... incredible, how did you made it??
will that in the future kill us???
this is insane
What, does this guy work for NASA or something? This reminds me of a mars lander bot of some kind.
Amazing.
Just got my own nxt kit and this will be my first build gonna download program does it cost?
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wall E is that you?
Where are the building instructions for this one? I can’t find them.
How did you program it like that? Jeez
Well he did make a SUDOKU solver... O.o
This just broke my heart.
I'm officially more stupid than a lego robot now.
bedfordpreneur, you have been duped. Private industry relies on government funding often and basics were all government funded and developed. It is a myth that the private sector is "more efficient" than the government. GOOGLE "A note to a UA-camr about "Socialism""
When it flips the cube you can see fall into place. That wouldn't happen if it was just reversed video.
Come on man, buh-LIEVE in something.
wouldnt this make your stickers peels with the constant rubbing against the legos?
God, ten years ago...
Hello Mr. Anderssom, can You post instruction on implementing and working your java application TiltedTwister, since I cannot be able to do working this. Please post on your website tiltedtwister.com. Thank You very much.
I can't open the programm with my nxt software... Why???
Can you help me pls.?

A fantastic acheivement for the NXT. Totally unaided! Absolutely well done! Have you seen the ARM assisted 4x4x4 rubik cube solver ?Its incredible!
Can I drive it to work? This Amazing Robots playlist is an NXT ad.
@chickylimmer - 1 min 15 secs is pretty good but have you seen "Yellow Cube Machine" or "CubeStormer"? :-)
I am trying to get the program right it is acting a little funky lately but yeah I will post a video
thanks for the building instructions and code! I just posted a video response of the one I built :)
@MegaLegomaniac123 i really like that u don't get the point. all I'm saying is producing, inventing, time and the resources needed for that robot is far longer that an actual knife, its a robot for the most useless simple things, wich is really lame and stupid. and if people want to event a robot, then why not invent something that is for any use at all?

Niick - google nxtasy - they have a forum. Yesterday I posted the code I amended to use with the new NTX2 colour sensor. Works 100% of the time :-)
i was looking at one of those. they have one i want at radioshack. i wish i could just steal it. hahha. jk, but it would be nice to get it for free! :P
Since I'm in a programming class at school and we used these robot, I would really like to see the source code of this program. I can't believe it.
Am I the only one who thinks this thing isn't really "solving" it but simply fullfilling a set of preprogrammed instructions with a predefined r-cube?!
Awesome! I've wondered if a Rubik's Cube solver could be built with only the pieces in the NXT kit. This might be something I will have to try building.
omg... the construction was easy, but the programing, how the fuck did you do it.. i get the basics but, one heel of a programing there mate XD
So, freaking, awesome.
The best part, is that it actually solves them faster than a lot of people who actually do know how to solve the cube.
millions of variables, one solution... or however the fuck that shit goes
