If we keep making machines that are better at their assigned tasks than humans, what is the point of keeping humans around?
To make more machines, obviously.

When they build a robot to find Waldo, not much.

I remember as a kid i could do 3 walls on the cube....my aunt knew how to solve the cube with a system...from 1 full wall you basicly do the same combination of rotations again n again n u win...wish i remember it when i was a kid -_-`
I honestly dont know how you can do it if you dont know the trick..i guess anybody who solved it witheout it just somehow sub-consciously figure it out....
12 seconds...this robot should be burned -_-`

Its not a far leap from deciding whether or not the human race should live when you can do a Rubix Cube in 12 seconds. I've seen Wargames.

Incredible how machines can perform now. Still, they could make it look a bit more pretty. Our new overlords should at least have some style.

To fire and have robots replace them.

Not once we make a machine that builds machines, creates new designs, and is self aware.

DUN DUN DUN!!!

Of course the next logical question is how long before someone a) gives it a gun, or b) allows you to have sexual relations with it.
Wait, what?? Can you imagine what your junk would look like after leaving it to the mercy of those rotating pincers? They'll tie knots and bows into it! I know some people are into pain, but that goes too far. x_x

Wait wait wait. Solves a puzzle, opens a portal to someplace else? Do you WANT this robot to summon the Cenobites?
Funny, that's exactly what I was thinking; I recently watched Hellraiser 4 again, and somehow the concept of this didn't seem all that different from the humanoid robot opening the puzzle box on the space station.

(Incidentally, this movie had the best quote from the entire series.

Pinhead: "Oh, I understand why you love this boy. You have hopes for him, dreams, a whole imagined future... where you love him, and watch him grow."
LeMerchant: "Yes."
Pinhead: "Then complete your work... or although the boy will not die here, for a thousand years his dearest wish will be that he had."
LeMerchant: "For Gods's sake...-"
Pinhead: "DO I LOOK LIKE SOMEONE WHO CARES WHAT GOD THINKS?!"

Rubik's cube's aren't too difficult to solve. You just follow a set of rules and perform the actions.
Just google how to solve it, you'll get like 12 instructions. the first one is making a side, then getting the outer blocks in the correct place, then the next line then the last side.

As Fanklok pointed out, this uses 4 separate grips or "hands". Reduce those to two, or give it a 4x4 cube to solve. That'll increase the complexity of operations, and therefore make the problem solving effort slightly more difficult.

Frustrating, really! I still haven't solved my rubix cube, and this machine solves it in 12 seconds o.0

Either way, I'd say that this is yet another sign of the coming robocalypse which no one seems to care about.

$50 says the guys making these things are actually robots sent from the future to blind us to their coming rise to power by distracting us with amusing puzzle solving robots.
I wouldn't wanna have sexual relations with it if it only lasts 12 seconds at most.
