Robot solves Rubik cube in under 50 seconds

Too bad this is isn't 1981, so I could get really excited..


We all know "that guy" in our loose social circle who can solve any Rubik's cube in about a minute, but who has apparently traded personal hygiene and social graces for the privilege of this skill. Not so with the RuBot II, who can not only solve most cubes in about 50 seconds, but manages a bit of polite conversation along the way - not bad considering world domination is well within his pneumatic grasp.

The bot sports a camera in his eyes, to the cube before getting to work, and while we're sure he's just keeping his logical faculties sharp until it's time for The Machines to initiate in their inevitable uprising against humankind, at least he's a nice guy about it.
