Someone should make a solid black goth Rubik's cube. That way you always win.

That's legit. Looking at some serious Rubik's cube time invested there.

hm i was thinking what if the cube just records the scrambling twists of the human and then 'plays' the steps backwards with its motors

Either way, he's really into that cube.

What's interesting though is a Rubik's cube has a maximum scramble depth of 20 moves. So if you did like 500 moves, it'd be much faster to figure out the correct 20 than to undo 500 moves.
