I Made a Fully Functional LEGO RUBIK'S CUBE!! (3x3x3)

EDIT: UPDATE VIDEO ON MY CHANNEL, GO WATCH IT FAQ Q: how do I get all the pieces A: here is a pieces list, you can buy the entire cube for quite a cheap price. enjoy! rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-89284/puzzLEGO/lego-rubik… new edit: unfortunately my build got removed, i appealed so it will hopefully be there soon just go to 'buy parts' to choose how you want to buy it, I'd recommend bricklink Q: can you put it on lego ideas? A: if I can improve the design enough so it's reliable I will Q: when you scramble it by rearranging the pieces, isn't there a chance it won't be solvable A: yes, I realised this while editing. there's only 1/12 chance Q: can't you use 2x2 round plates instead of square ones? A: the circles make it too loose, I've tried this. I have an idea about how to improve that i'll show you if I make another video about this Q: is someone knocking on my door at 4:03? A: no, it's just a realistic sound effect, sorry for that

"does this count as an illegal technique" Buddy. The whole video is an illegal technique. It's perfect

Hands down the best LEGO tutorial creation of the decade! 👏👏👏

this takes serious skill

this is my first time watching your videos and my mind is BLOWN!!!

When you "scrambled" it by taking it apart and putting it together randomly, there's a good chance it wasn't solvable due to parity. There's edge parity and corner parity. You have to swap corners in cycles of 3 assuming no edges are swapped, you have to swap edges in pairs of 2 and cannot flip just 1 edge. All corners must be turned in sets of 3 (all clockwise or all counterclockwise) as well. Feel free to reply if you have any questions.

Awesome cube and video! Looks like a huge improvement to the old design; I can't wait to try it out!

You have incredibly well developed spatial reasoning and engineering skills. The way that you identify problems, tinker, and prototype incrementally is all incredible, especially for someone that seems relatively young

When you just randomly assemble the cube, there's a 1 in 12 chance it will actually be solvable - so stopping after 1 or 2 layers was likely the furthest you could have gotten anyways ;)

Also, that knock at 4:04 sounds EXACTLY like someone knocking on our glass door to our backyard which is ecxactly to my right. it TOTALLY freaked me out. lol

Wow this is amazing thanks for sharing!

I love the trail and error aspect of building with legos. I always tend to build something and try many things to perfect any build

THIS THING IS AMAZING WOW

This is a very interesting challenge and represents a great answer. Great build!

Ok that's legitimately impressive. The inner workings are more complex than what I thought lego was capable of!

WOW I love this

Incredible

Damn, I remember being both obsessed with LEGOs and Rubik's cubes when I was younger and I spent hours upon hours trying to research on youtube and build my very own LEGO Rubik's cube, but to no success. I thought that it really was impossible as no one had ever done it before. 8 years later you've proven me wrong. This is absolutely awesome.

My other nephew can make fully functional lego pieces out of a Rubik's cube.

This looks so satisfying
