The algorithm for solving a rubik's cube is actually pretty simple. I know of two, and both are relatively easy implementations. I wonder if we have a roboticon idea on our hands for next year? :) The robot build would probably be the most challenging part.

Alright tough guy, if I provide you with a 3D implementation of a rubiks cube will you solve it? Language of your choice.

The trouble with computers is that they do what you tell them, not what you want.

There ya go. Just one of many ways to solve it.

I won't bother coding it, although I will say I did it as a practice run long ago. Alas, I have very little of my code leftover from the early years of university, and even the late stuff is not organized well. Maybe one day, when my todo list isn't so long, I'll get back to you ;)
