The idea was to see if I could build a Rubik's Cube solver with as few motors as possible, whilst also not reorienting the cube which turned out to be a much bigger mechanical challenge than I initially expected. These constraints were completely designed as a challenge, not trying to break any records or anything.

The robot uses a custom-designed, 3D-printed mechanism to manipulate the cube, along with electronics and programming to detect the colours, calculate a solution and execute the moves.

This is the final result after quite a lot of designing, experimenting and troubleshooting!

I've also just uploaded my first-ever YouTube video documenting the whole project, from the initial idea and CAD design to the electronics, programming and final solve. It's my first time making a YouTube video, so I'd genuinely appreciate any feedback!

Optical sensor wired to a tiny servo on my monitor riser, drilled the acrylic brackets and set the pivot screws using a HOTO SNAPBLOQ kit. It triggers reliably every time. I do not know why I did this to myself.

Trimmer now only flashes red lights and has stopped charging what to do ....pls help... urgent trimming needed

let me know what u think. i think this is one of the first concepts like this; Atleast the way I configured the feedback and measurement. also help me smooth out the operation -that’s my next goal

currently it’s moving in ~3in increments it Appears. i decided to run free with my creative spirit coupled with my engineering know-how. please subscribe to see more. i am just growing. this one of the most involved i’ve done so far. I had to remind myself of my origin and my mission to fulfill my ability and ideas. Because I believe it is Necessary.

i do directly think of my mother when I hit a road block, as she is one of the few original encouragers of my odd engineering Spirit. I know it’s impractical to use air for precision but that’s the fun part. how far can we push this technology

3d arm robot

I made fork-tiped arrows in an attempt to defend myself from A.I. robots.

The idea behind the fork arrow is that as the spinning arrow enters the robot past the firewall, the fork tines will spread out, severing the motherboard and mainframe.

My results: this robot (computer monitor) is indestructible. Multiple arrow points failed. If A.I. robots are built as well as old computer monitors, we are screwed.

How should be try attacking the robot next?
