RuBot II – The Rubik’s cube solving robot.
http://www.mechatrons.com
Read this before you comment! This is the new version of RuBot by Pete Redmond from Dublin, Ireland. It’s very different to the prototype but it has to be the coolest looking robot solver ever. RuBot II set a new Guinness world Record in Jan 2009. Check out the other videos and the faq at www.mechatrons.com. There are cameras in the eyes of the head that scan the cube before the pneumatic arms solve it. It usually solves the Cube in about 35 seconds (not including the scan) no matter how much it is mixed up.
The solving algorithm is taken care of by Herbert Kociemba’s Cube Explorer software and usually solves the cube in a maximum of about 20 moves. In this video, the cube wasn’t mixed up too hard so RuBot was able to find the optimum solution.
Thanks to all of those who think it is too good to be true. That is a real compliment! If you still don’t believe it, Look at the other RuBot videos – they have better scrambles. Or better still, call in on one of RuBot’s live demonstrations. By the way, that’s my daughter in the clip with RuBot. She was just starting to grow her hair long so it does look a little odd. You should see her now.

Jim Rogers World Adventure Traveler on China, Globalization, the USA and Dubai 2007
Dubai, China, the United States and globalization from the man who may know it best, Jim Rogers.
Called “The Indiana Jones of finance” by Time Magazine, Jim Rogers is one of the best global experts of our day.
A conversation with legendary investor, adventurer and more… traveler Jim Rogers. Mr. Rogers and George Soros were co-founders of the famous Quantum Fund, one of the most successful hedge funds of all time.
Mr. Rogers’s extraordinary track record and insights alone set him apart from so many peers but perhaps most interesting is his take on the global economy. Mr. Rogers has traveled around the world twice, most recently on an ambitious 152,000 miles journey to over 115 countries. This trip earned him and his wife Paige Parker Rogers a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Mr. Rogers was called “the Indiana Jones of finance” by Time Magazine and recently has focused on commodities and investments in China.
Jim Rogers is founder of the Rogers Commodity Index and a regular guest on CNBC and other programs. Jim Rogers is the author of Hot Commodities, A Bull in China, Investment Biker and Adventure Capitalist.
In this video interview Jim Rogers discusses his thoughts on American isolationism,. Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the Middle East, Africa, Asia, commodities and our changing world.
“If the middle of Africa blew up, we’d never know about it in the US. The rest of the world might, but we wouldnt.”
“Most Americans can point to Japan on a map, they cant tell you where it is or why they should know or why its important.”
“Dubai is working to become the best at everything.”
He is interviewed here by Bruce Fenton, editor of the Fenton Report online wealth management magazine.

Lyrics:
This is my Rubiks cube
His name is Jamal
Hes very colorful
And has 6 unique sides
Hes getting really old
Cause hes starting to peel
But that doesnt matter
I have another one!
This is Fran
Shes s a 4 by 4
Shes a little bit bigger
But not as big as Reptar
Sometimes they both fight
So I have to break it up.
But thats not so important
Hey look a banana!
I can solve Jamal
In a matter of seconds
But I never solved Fran
Shes a 4 By 4!
I only solved one side
But that never will count
I guess I have to say
This is my Rubiks Cube!
Blue side
Red side
Yellow side
Green side
White side
Orange side
This is my Rubiks cube
Mix it all up
And Ill solve it again!
Just dont mess me up
Ill get really mad
Two plus Three equals Rubiks Cube
You got to be smart to solve the Rubiks cube
But if you get mad and throw my Rubiks cube
You most likely will shatter my life
If you call me a cheater
Then you probably do not know
That I can solve the Rubiks cube right in front of you!
Give me 28 seconds and the cube will be solved
Dont believe me? What now?
When Im bored, I go and solve my Rubiks cube
Its the best thing in the whole entire world
Turning each side until you get a color
Its loads of fun for only a Dollar
Its the funnest thing that you will ever do
Its even more fun than tying your shoe
I sometimes like to play with this green bouncy ball
Bouncy ball or Rubiks cube
My bouncy ball is green!!
They say if you could solve any type Rubiks cube
youre considered to be a really smart person!
I think Im smart in school
But my grades do not agree
But when I found a Rubiks cube
My smartness came to life!
Blue side
Red side
Yellow side
Green side
White side
Orange side
This is my Rubiks cube
Mix it all up
And Ill solve it again!
Just dont mess me up
Ill get really mad
Two plus Three equals Rubiks Cube
You got to be smart to solve the Rubiks cube
But if you get mad and throw my Rubiks cube
You most likely will shatter my life
So now that youve learned about Fran and Jamal
You now know my whole life story about Rubiks cubes
I really recommend going out and getting one
Once you learn it, youll get addicted and have lots of fun
A Rubiks cube is like a dog
You got to take care of it
But you could also have lots of fun with it too!
Just remember one thing, Go Solve your Rubiks cube cause
If Arnold can do it, so can you!
Blue side
Red side
Yellow side
Green side
White side
Orange side
This is my Rubiks cube
Mix it all up
And Ill solve it again!
Just dont mess me up
Ill get really mad
Two plus Three equals Rubiks Cube
You got to be smart to solve the Rubiks cube
But if you get mad and throw my Rubiks cube
I will go to the jungle and kidnap a gorilla
Thanks!
