( picture by engadget.com ) The world record for fastest time in solving a Rubik's Cube was set by a Dutch guy1 (5.55 seconds). However it took only 5.27 seconds, for a LEGO robot named Cubestormer 2 , back in the fall of 2011. Thanks to the machine's successor (Cubestormer 3), the time to beat is now 3.253 seconds . The robot, which is the third in a series of automatons designed solely for the purpose of solving the Rubik's Cube ASAP, is powered by an octa-core Samsung Galaxy S4 and LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 bricks.
