Programatically solving a cube shouldn't be too difficult. There are only a small number of moves that you need to know in order to solve it so once you can get the robot to identify what each face resembles it should be fairly easy to get it to select the required move. The fact it's done using Lego is amazing though.

Normally takes me between 60-90 seconds to complete it depending upon how mixed up it is.
