So basically the code I wrote uses combinations of pushes, holds and platform rotations to apply algorithms to the cube. Honestly building the physical solver was a lot harder and complex than I expected, so if you have any questions on how I built the solver, just ask. Glued wooden wheels that act as washers on each end. I drilled a hole into ends of the popsicle sticks. Slanted sticks to prevent the cube from snagging. I haven't documented every step of the build process, but I think you can reproduce the tilted twister design with a few tweaks:ġ.
When I first tried to build the solver, I tried to follow building instructions here:īut I was pretty lazy and didn't follow the instructions, so I made a wooden replica with a few tweaks. So here's how the mechanism basically works:ġ.
I looked at a few designs but settled on the Tilted Twister because it only required 2 servos to operate, which wasn't as complex mechanically as other robots such as the Cubestormer.
