The world record for a human-solved random Rubik's cube is a little over 7
seconds. This robot can do it in about 8 seconds, minus the inspection time
which is also not counted in human contests.

It also has rare teal-colored Technic bricks.

I'd love to see some construction photos, because that robot very fast.

They've been working on this a while; the previous version of their robot was
posted over a year ago.

Nice!

Be interested to know if the cube was lubricated...

That is very cool!

Those speed cubes are taken apart, all the excess moulding sprue and rough edges
filed off, lubricated, put back together, and the screws that hold them together
in the centre squares adjusted so they hold together with just enough tension so
they won't fall apart.
