Robot Breaks Record, Solving a Rubik's Cube in 3.253 Seconds

     Have you ever wondered how to solve a Rubik's cube? In the 80's, it was a great accomplishment just to solve the puzzle; today, it is all about who can solve it the fastest. Below is a video of the Guinness World Record Holder for solving a Rubik's cube...a robot! This robot (the Cubestormer 3) is built from Lego's and powered by a Samsung Galaxy S4. It set the new record for solving a Rubik's cube at 3.253 seconds, cutting off about 2 seconds from the previous record holder. Check out the demonstration video to see for yourself.


     Robots are utilizing today's technology to accomplish things no human can accomplish (i.e. solve a Rubik's cube in 3.253 seconds). How do you feel about this? Are we stepping into dangerous territory with the advancement of robots or are they our friends?
