  • Lego Mindstorms NXT Rubik’s Cube Solver

    Posted by admin on October 8th, 2009 and filed under nxt building instructions | 25 Comments »

    Much respect to the original creator of the Tilted Twister. Check out the original video for more information or visit http://tiltedtwister.com. After seeing that building instructions and source code was released, I was inspired to build this myself. I ran into some problems, but eventually got it working after some changes to the code. My hat goes off to Hans Andersson, for building/designing this amazing robot and for releasing instructions and source code to the public. Thanks a lot!

      some minor changes in the code, in order to get the cube to rotate correctly (and tilt correctly)

      No I didn’t, but I believe the creator has added instructions on how to use the color sensor if you have one!

      I just tried my model of this today – Rubik’s cube arrived lol. With mine I found raising the the arm on one of the larger wheels that came with the education resource kit helped with success rates. I’ve posted this bid up if you’re interested.

      And i didn’t use any material at the bottom of the tray, but it may help you out. Keep trying and get a vid if you can :)

      I had the same problem, and to tell you the truth, it didn’t work most of the time with the cube falling off or getting dragged back as u stated. I just kept tweaking, finding the best values for the turntable to be at the correct place after several turns when the arm comes to tilt the cube. Then I prayed that I could get it on video, and this is the result :) .

      Nice! I built this, but I have problems for longer solutions…often the cube gets stuck when the arm tries to turn it over in the tray, and sometimes the cube gets dragged back by the arm. What material did you use in the bottom of the tray to let the cube slide easily?

      u have to replace the stickers but it doesnt really matter what color. for the center white piece, make it completly white. for the yellow, replace it with a random color like black or something.
