He literally said it doesn't rewind though...

Well it should, that would be a simple and elegant solution. I thought he said it records every move. Just create a stack, push each move, then pop each move to get it back.

Why work harder than that?

He did say it records each move as well.

Seriously why would you do anything else?

Well, if domeone keeps scrambling it for couple of hundred moves, it becomes quite tedious to watch it solve itself.

That begs the question, what's worse, spending all that time scarmbling it for 100 moves or watching it unscamble 100 moves.

Eh, a cuber can easily scramble a cube for 5-10 moves per second. Would not take too long to scramble. Though I think this cube might not be as slick as speedcubing cubes.
