Mindstorms and the Samsung Galaxy S4. On 15 March 2014,
at the Big Bang fair in Birmingham, England, the
Inventor David Gilday and Mike Dobson
CubeStormer 3 broke the previous record, held by its
predecessor, the CubeStormer II, for the fastest time to solve
a Rubik's Cube. The previous Guinness World Records time was 5.270 seconds. The official time taken to solve
the Rubik's Cube by the CubeStormer 3 was 3.253 seconds.[1] This robot was created by inventors David
Gilday and Mike Dobson. It took the two of them 18 months to perfect the technology of this robot. The robot
was able to conquer the cube by use of four robotic hands. The robot is made out of LEGO and ARM
architecture.[2][3][4]
Gilday and Dobson hope to beat their record again with another faster
