Q-Bot is an Arduino Mega-driven Rubik’s Cube solver
Reading Time: < 1 minuteQ-Bot is an Arduino Mega-driven Rubik’s Cube solver Arduino Team — March 14th, 2019 Rubik’s Cubes seem to have been most popular in the 1980s, but never really went away. As such, if you have one lying around your house unsolved, why not ‘simply’ construct a machine to do this for…
