Tilted Twister

I saw a soduko solver somewhere today, and this is the website that it was on. These are two pretty nifty robots, one that solves Rubik’s cubes and the other solves soduko. Looks like they’re both done with LEGO mindstorms, so given that small footprint these are pretty elegant solutions.
