Got the video link from Instructables (http://www.instructables.com/community/Lego-Mindstorms-Cubestormer-solves-Rubiks-Cube-in-/). Rather amusing, though I wish there was more information about it.

Yeah, dellagd, try that with sheet metal (that's how the lego affectionate guys call the other robots)! I noticed in another thread that you never liked the Lego way of building robots.

Over the years I have seen many incredible machines and robots built from Lego parts. And rule number one is never glue the parts! I had lots of fun building stuff that I could not have done it without a machine shop. I have learned many things about building a strong chassis, a good geartrain, and even simple mechanical machines (that are pretty complicated, like a one motor and one battery powered wall follower, or a mechanical sumo robot - with a 5 second delay mechanical starter). You just don't know what you're missing.
