From Swedish hacker Hans Anderson, who also built Tilted Twister, the Rubik’s cube solving robot. I’d like to point out that what the robot finds easy, namely solving the sudoku, is difficult for humans, while what the robot finds difficult, namely reading the numbers, people find easy.
Hans Andersson built a Rubik’s cube solver built from a Lego Mindstorms kit. It spends about half the time reading the colors from the cube. Then it figures out the solution and solves the cube without looking at it again. Complete instructions and software are available.
