I designed it in such a way that none of the previous problems I had encountered could possibly re-emerge, and I'm glad to say none of them did! Here is the 'finished' robot solving a rubix cube in a mere 48 seconds. Having learnt from my mistakes last time I set about making a new robot, this time not from LEGO but using the 3D printer I had just got my hands on this has allowed me to create completely custom parts, much more suited to the task in hand. However I faced a lot of problems and after several months of trying I deemed it not possible based on my hardware setup (although it must have been because he managed it!). I quickly built the robot from his instructions and then got down to the programming, I decided I wanted to write the code myself rather than use his source code from the original project. This was when I came across the website by Hans Anderson he has designed robots that can mechanically display the time, solve sudokus and most impressively solve a rubix cube. After many random contraptions later and 3 years of competing in a robotics competition called The First LEGO League, I had gained quite a lot of confidence in the design and programming of LEGO robots. Starting off with the standard bricks I soon moved on to LEGO technic and then combined this with LEGO Mindstorms too. When I was young I spent a lot of time playing with LEGO.
