This one comes with line tracer sensors so theoretically a SNAP!/Edgy solution could be translated line tracing pattern (multiple lines and multiple sensors I guess) to direct the robot and operate its gripper to place the physical pieces into a solution.
It would offer a nice back and forth between Scratch which is used to program their Studino(Artec Arduino) and SNAP!
Yes. I used it at work a while back when one of the mechanical engineers who needed to automate a test fixture. I wasn't available to help with the regular Arduino code learning curve. It worked great.
I am conversing with the Studuino folks on twitter about how to make this into an Artec-Robo activity.
I am @mathart4all on twitter if you want to see what we are up to.
Here they are - 20 "geodes" mined from the 240 unique Soma Cube solutions using SNAP!/Edgy.
Pleasantly surprised to see most of them are aesthetically pleasing to look at.
