News: LEGO Robot Can Solve 100×100x100 Rubik's Cubes

MultiCuber achieves another world's first: the timed relay solve of 2x2x2, 3x3x3, 4x4x4 and 5x5x5 Rubik's cubes.

We've seen quite a few speedy rubik's cube solvers on WonderHowTo. However, this robot (built entirely out of a LEGOs) uses an algorithm that can can solve a cube of any dimension. That means it can solve software model cubes of up to 100×100x100! (The tradition rubik's cube size is 3x3x3).

Via Bot Junkie,

"The physical robot can't quite handle a 100×100x100 cube, of course… But, a version has been created that can solve 6×6x6 cubes, which have about 157 152 858 401 024 063 281 013 959 519 483 771 508 510 790 313 968 742 344 694 684 829 502 629 887 168 573 442 107 637 760 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 possible permutations."
