Okay, not a second...

...but close enough to impress Rico, who can't do one in, like, ever:

The robot in the above video leverages the miracle of computing to analyze a jumbled up Rubik’s cube, and then solve it in less than a second. The initial analysis of the cube takes longer than a second, though. I realize you must be disappointed after having clicked your way here, only to learn that it actually takes more than a second. Feel free to read one fewer thing on the Internet today to make up for it...

If you’re looking for a robot that handles both analyzing and solving in one fell swoop, take the below LEGO-fied CubeStormer II for a whirl. Caveat: It takes just over five seconds for the CubeStormer II to scan the Rubik’s cube and then solve it. “But I need something that can scan and solve a Rubik’s cube much faster than that,” you whine. Well, then, grow your fingernails out and get really good at peeling off the stickers, I guess.
