Is that thing built with Legos?

My Lego kit includes mice, dunno about yours...

I didn't click the "More" before, but now I just did. It is made from Legos. Pretty neat.

That is actually really awesome!! Incredible. Lego robotics technology was so basic when I was a kid, very basic indeed.

You guys are more observant than I am. I never noticed it was built with Logos.

I was fixated on the use of an Android phone to do all the computing.

I'm almost embarrassed to admit I didn't even notice the phone until my third viewing...!

As I understand it, the image on the display is analyzed by the software on the Android, which does make use of two threads, one for each core, so I was surprised that it could analyze the cube setting that quickly, much less solve it.
