Sweden's Hans Andersson, has a new way of solving both the Rubik's Cube and Sudoku puzzles... ROBOTS. That's right, memorizing lengthy algorithms or racking your brain with numbers is no longer required to solve these perplexing puzzles.
The Tilted Twister and Sudoku Solver are independent, fully automatic robots made entirely of the Lego Mindstorms NXT Retail Kit. Though solving a sudoku puzzle may be a slow process for the Sudoku Solver, the Tilted Twister can unscramble the Rubik's Cube in just under 6 minutes. Pretty impressive for a robot made of Legos.
If you want to create your own puzzle solving robot, Hans has the Rubik's instructions and Sudoku instructions available. Check out the pictures below for detailed views of the Lego brainiacs.
