Robot from Rowan University students solves Rubik’s cube in 15 seconds

The Inquirer on a pair of Rowan University students who have created a robot to finish a Rubik’s cube in 15 seconds:

…In a project that started in a Rowan course, Ridgeway and Zachary Grady, both senior electrical and computer engineering (ECE) majors, have built a robot that solves the cube in 15 seconds…The Rubik’s Cube-Solving Robot, a year in the making, has earned the duo more than 17,000 hits on YouTube and a congratulatory note from Erno Rubik himself. And though it’s not yet official, they are confident, based on their research, that the robot is the fastest of its kind.

We have been waiting for an opportunity to point out that Code for America Philadelphia fellow Pete Fecteau has his own Rubik’s cube legend.
