It's finally happened - in fact, I'm surprised it's taken so long. A robot has been invented which can solve a Rubik's cube faster than the current human world record.
In news which will probably devastate current world record holder, 15-year-old Feliks Zemdegs, the Cubestormer II has solved a Rubik's cube in 5.35 seconds, beating Zemdegs' record (set at the Melbourne Winter Open 2011) by 0.31 seconds. The robot is built around a Samsung Galaxy SII smartphone, and is made of four Lego units which communicate with the phone by Bluetooth.
Watch the video below, and marvel at how far robots have come - they're now strictly better than nerds. Look out, people who aren't nerds! You're next.
