C.U.B.O

Building autonomous robots capable of solving a Rubik's cube in 60 seconds.
  • Intermediate

CUBO challenges teams to design and build a high-speed machine that reads, analyzes, and solves a scrambled Rubik’s Cube completely hands-free. It combines computer vision, precision mechanics, and custom electronics for members who want a rewarding technical challenge.

What You’ll Work On:

Computer Vision: Use cameras and color-detection algorithms to scan face patterns in real time.

Solving Algorithms: Implement fast cube-solving logic (such as Kociemba’s algorithm) to compute optimal solutions.

Mechanical & Motor Control: Assemble high-speed stepper or servo systems capable of rapid cube rotations.

Circuit Design: Wire custom drivers and controllers to power and coordinate all motors reliably.

Experience Level: Intermediate. Ideal for members with some prior background in electronics, CAD, or programming who want to step up from beginner projects.
