Made out of Legos, this robot solves the penultimate puzzle of the '80s - the Rubik's Cube. I confess that I am skeptical that a truly random scramble can be solved in under 12 seconds, at least based on the apparent speed of the moves, but I could be wrong. When I was a kid, I of course bought the cheaters book on how to solve the Rubik's Cube, and managed to hit the 40-50 second mark. While I have no doubt that many could do it faster, no one can convince me that the 3x3x3 puzzle can be purely solved in 10 seconds or less without "help." Nevertheless, what can be more cool than legos, robots, and Rubik's (h/t: HotAir.com):

Legos, Robots, ... Rubik's!
February is turning out to be a monster in terms of schedule. I've had very little time for blogging as a result. But what you are about to see is worth taking the few minutes necessary to post.
