World's fastest Rubik's cube solving machine does it in a little over 10-seconds

Gone are the days where solving a Rubik's cube in under a minute is considered an achievement. The students at the Swinburne University of Technology have created a robot that can do it in seconds - less than 11 seconds in fact. Called Ruby, the puzzle solving machine managed to solve a randomized cube, including the time it took to scan the toy, in just a little over 10 seconds: 10.69 seconds to be exact. The robot uses a web cam to scan the scrambled cube, and then uses a software algorithm to figure out what moves it needs to make in order to solve it.
