Watch out kids, here comes "The Cubinator" - a puzzle-solving robot that is currently being displayed at the Toy Fair in London.

Rubut 2, nicknamed "The Cubinator", is the fastest Rubik's Cube solving computer in the world. The Robot uses a number of cameras to figure out the five colors of the Cube and then uses a mathematical formula to work out the fastest solution. The best time recorded by The Cubinator is 26 seconds.

While this is impressive, it seems humans can do it much faster, with the record being about ten seconds.

Former British Rubik's Cube speed champion Dan Harris, decided to test his skills against "The Cubinator". As you will see in the video below, he was done way before the Robot. However, don't tell the Robot that .........he still believes he won!
