The solving is done by the PC using Cube Explorer.
"Built entirely from lego elements with a lego web camera to scan the faces of
the cube, The solve engine (algorithm) running on the computer is provided by
the incredible "Cube Explorer "software which also provides the colour
recognition required to determine the exact location of each coloured square.
Thanks to Herbert Kociemba for making his work available to anyone wishing to
use it! Respect! "Cube Explorer" has the ability to produce very fast solutions
to a successfully scanned cube, usually around 20 face turns! Doesn't sound a
lot , but it is believed that around 20 turns are enough to solve ANY 3x3x3 cube
combination. I'm still working on "CubeStormer" I would like to see it reach
sub-10 and feel it's close to that. but reliability begins to suffer when you
start to push things just that bit too far.....
Special thanks to David Gilday for his assistance with the software interface to
Cube Explorer."
