Small, simple, inexpensive Rubik's cube solver robot, fully 3D printed

There are many robots for Rubik's cube, and yes ... there is still room to make it smaller, simpler, cheaper. This one is very small and simple, fully 3D printed, that solves the Rubik's cube in less than 90 seconds (not fast, but again ... it's very simple and rather inexpensive) You can get an impression at https://youtu.be/ZVbVmCKwYnQ Detailed information about the robot, and how to build it, at: https://www.instructables.com/CUBOTino-a-Small-Simple-3D-Printed-Inexpensive-Rub/ How it works: It requires a PC for the cube status entry, via webcam or via mouse, and to "feed" the robot with the cube solution (based on Kociemba solver). An ESP32 development board, programmed in Micropython, controls the robot and the two servos used for all the movements. The interraction is supported by a GUI, coded in Python; A setting page at GUI helps with the basic robot settings. The robot is energized via the microusb port, the same is used for the communications. This is the base version, as this robot has been develloped to be scalable; A more advanced versions integrates the cube status detection on the robot: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5407226
