Although Im a Nokia fan and have had N80, N95, N85, N96, N85 etc etc, I dont see how this is soo brilliant, Im sure anyphone that uses that app will be able to do this task

Now that's awesome... but is that its only purpose?

 

[Major7up]

I needed one of those 20 years ago!

 

[darkknight22]

now if it could only cook me breakfast..... THAT would be awesome.

 

[jerreece]

Not all that impressed. The only impressive feat here is building the lego machine, and programming software that makes it all happen. The fact that the ARM processor happening to be the unit doing all the math is meaningless in my mind.

Yes blueberry pancakes would be nice

It's neat, but most people don't realize that solving a rubiks cube requires nothing more than memorizing algorithms. Probably shouldn't be too difficult for a computer to do..

[citation][nom]Jane McEntegart[/nom]I was pretty proud of myself for cheating the classic puzzle[/citation]

That's not cheating. That's lateral thinking.



ok, I did that too.javascript: void(0);

And sorry about that cryptic end to my post. Fat fingers and Chrome don't mix.

 

[foody]

I processor solving algorithms!?!? This is news to me.

The lego technic are far more impressive than the arm processor running the robot. In college, we used zylog z80 processors for all our robotics labs... it doesn't take much to run a robot.

lol, sorry, but I think that's great. How many of you can solve the 4x4x4 cube, build a lego machine like that, or program software to run all of it?
Personally, hats off to the guy that did it.

 

[PostmanPat]

Jeez, guys lighten up... it really doesn't matter if it was an Arm powered N95, or Deep Blue solving it... its still a cool use of innovation an technology and an entertaining video.

Blackberry perhaps?

 

[aneasytarget]

Now if it could get me a beer; that would be super impressive.

Wouldn't a rubix cube would be 4*4*6

four pieces high, four pieces wide and six identical sides.

I can do the programming part but building LEGOs,etc is harder.

The older Mindstorms sets were also used to solve the classic 3x3 Cube. This is a pretty slick iteration, though, and it probably doesn't even require Vaseline on the cube to run.

can it play crysis???

4 on the x-axis, 4 on the y-axis and 4 on the z-axis.

I wonder how different the response would've been had it been an Apple iPhone instead that was used? People probably would've been frothing at the mouth with hype.

It's good to see some articles showing that, y'know, there ARE other smartphones out there.

 

[darthvidor]

amazing

Amazing work!
