It's been a while since the last robot shared here on the blog, but we come back with the spectacular MINDCUB3R, which solves the famous Rubik's cubes! The robot is designed by David Gilday.
This robot has four "feets" with a base that supports the rest of the robot. Placed on this same base it is another one which allows the large motor to rotate the cube; the smart brick that controls the entire process, the small motor that allows the movement of the color sensor (read the colors of each face to be analyzed by the program, I'll explain that later) and a kind of an arm that allows the turning the cube and even up and down plays.
This arm is associated with another large motor! In the central part of that support, it is also present the infrared sensor, which tells the robot if the cube has been placed or was removed, to start or end the solving.

The program for this robot is available on the same site where we can find the assembling instructions (here)! The program is not the usual set of blocks that I have been published on the blog, but a combination of that, with a compiled C ++ code, which is the "brain" of the robot!
There are few things I can say about this program because I do not have much knowledge about this programming language (C++), but I can explain how it works! In order to function properly you have to follow all the instructions carefully!
Initially place the cube in place when the order to do so appears on the display of the intelligent brick. When its presence is detected by the infrared sensor, the color sensor advances and starts reading square per square of each side, until it has analysed all of them! If there was a failure in reading some squares, all the faces turn to be analyzed again (up to 3 times - then it stops and tells you about the error). When completed the analysis, the sensor recedes and the code in C ++ comes into play, making the engines move as we can check below. As you can see the "normal" program:
Now let's see the video where we can see this fantastic robot solve the cube!
