Man Vs. Machine: Robot Beats Human Rubik's Cube Record



A machine called the CubeStormer II holds the world record of solving a Rubik's Cube in 5.35 seconds, beating the human record of 5.66. I don't know who solved a Rubik's cube in 5.66 seconds, but this is what you get for wasting your god damn time on something that will get you nowhere in life. The machine is built with Legos and is powered with an Android smartphone. After the unsolved cube is placed in the machine's harness, an application on the phone will take a picture, solve the puzzle, and send the answer to the machine. I would really like this phone app if it could solve the puzzle "What happened last night?" This doesn't really surprise me because this has been happening for a long time now. Machines are always doing things better. Librarians are being replaced by Google, the mail man is being replaced by email, and girlfriends are being replaced by Wiis. Girls are just pissed because men finally found a replacement after they replaced their boyfriends with vibrators.
