Friday July 09, 2004 Serious Lego
|
A little while ago, when I was doing some Lego Mindstorming as part of a mentoring project here at Sun, I went to this site for inspiration. There are some truly amazing creations here. My particular favorite is the Rubix Cube solver |
I was lucky enough to be working for ICL Dataskil in Reading, England in September 1979 in the same group as Colin Cairns and Dave Griffiths at the time they generated one of the first solutions to the cube, published as "Teach Yourself cube-bashing". I still have the three photo-copied pages showing the three types of moves you needed to memorise (the Jelly Roll Morton was my favorite). I used to be able to solve the cube in 10-15 minutes. No records broken here, but it felt good!
Finding that the cube can now be solved using Lego and a couple of Mindstorm RCX bricks is very deflating to the ego.
