The most intriguing Puzzle on the Planet solved in World Record Time!!

[@chrispitt362]

Well!!!! What a fantastic video 🥰 When I designed the puzzle, I was always thinking how quick I could solve it. Best for me was around 12sec while Michael my son did it in 11.2s. The aim was to find someone who could not only solve the puzzle but to do it in under a minute. Then twice in a minute (30s each) and three in a minute (20s each) to four in a minute (15s each). The goal was for someone to do five in a minute (12s each) or ultimate six in a minute (10s each). This shows it can be done by a human. Now your machine has set the benchmark to double what I wanted! Soooo impressed with your engineering and approach. With servos I am sure you can do it in under 1s ! Brilliantly done. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this! Very sincere regards Chris Pitt Inventor of the Revomaze Puzzle

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Thanks Chris, glad to receive your positive feedback here. I also thought about servos. But first I need to machine new parts from metal and also add a spindle instead of the belt. Maybe in the future. 🤔😉

[@ASURMlN]

Under 1s seems very unrealistic but sub 3 seems possible for sure with the proper steppers. Servos I'm not so sure about. Edit: Didn't know about stepper servos, those are actually faster so nevermind. whoops

[@Dieselfitter01]

I was in awe watching this video and when I had seen our friend ask how he could do it faster I immediately thought of servo's . You designed a brilliant puzzle. Hats off to you.

[@chrispitt362]

@@Dieselfitter01 Many thanks for your comments. Much appreciated. With optical positional sensors on the servos, a more accurate path can be found in the middle of the path along with fast acceleration and deacceleration can be worked to give a higher solve speed but the mass of the puzzle would require a stronger setup ;). Mr Puzzle solution is still a fantastic achievement. Only one thing, he had to solve the puzzle first to enable him to work out the route. Next would be a program to solve the puzzle without a path, but using AI to work out the solution would be cool. Anyone fancy a go at that? Kind regards Chris Pitt.

One reason why it may get stuck is because the coupling is not meant to be used like that. You can see it getting compressed and stretched by the force created by the inertia of the puzzle. Still working good enough. Nice job. :)

[@skyscraperfan]

Have you found out why it stuck at higher speeds? Maybe at those speeds the movement continues a tiny bit because because of inertia. You might be able to compensate that by making the initial movements a little shorter.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Yes, it's inertia but also the complete system does not provide enough stiffness. Also the sleeve to shaft hast some freeplay.

[@dashisqueer]

This is so cool! The engineering is fantastic, and your excitement at how well it works this so infectious!

[@WhatAboutTheBee]

At 100% speed, the torque demanded at the shaft of the motors cannot be met by the motors. That is, the inertia of the system is too large for those motors. This is a typical motor sizing problem, often overlooked in development. When this happens with a stepper motor, which is usually open loop (no encoder), the stepper "missteps". That is, the controller demands N steps, but the stepper motor only provides N-m steps. Thus the end position is not achieved and without feedback, disastrous results are inevitable. Additionally, selecting a helicoil coupling between the motor and the part to be rotated is good, but care must be taken as you have introduced a spring in the system. You must examine if the natural resonance of the system created is within the bandwidth of the servo system. You must also consider the affect of settling time as a function of this spring. All in all, a reasonable solution, but needs much more work in the equations.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

You are right! Also the belt is too flexible. I can't see any missteps before it gets stuck. I rather think the whole system is too elastic. At the very end you can see a video at the highest speed I was able to run it. Maybe I can get it a bit faster.and get below 4s.

[@WhatAboutTheBee]

@@Mr.Puzzle may I politely disagree? I can hear one of the steppers missteps! Its a chattering noise, quite audible in the video. As soon as I heard it, I knew!

[@vladmirputin7139]

Your flexible shaft coupler on your motor that controls the rotation of the cylinder is causing the lockouts. It's moving back and forth due to the flex in the coupling. You need some type of pillow block bearing and you can solve it at 100% speed no problem.

At these speeds, frame shaking and belt stretch under the high inertial forces start to become a factor. A more sophisticated motion algorithm that considers the accelerations involved might be needed to get any further.

[@cplusmcretired]

If you know the puzzle you can see and hear that the pin was in. Otherwise the shaft can rotate freely and can be just pulled out.

@@Mr.Puzzle I know, and you proved it to 99% of people. But there will undoubtedly be a small number who will question it because the pin dropped out off screen.

I think the belt is also a limiting factor due to its flexibility.

[@FabriDragon]

@@Mr.Puzzle possibly. I have a delta 3D printer and am very impressed by how little flex/stretch the belts have, being probably a meter long each. They can easily maintain ~0.1mm accuracy in prints. The frame for your invention might benefit from being more rigid, maybe made of aluminum. Time for a CNC machine haha

[@waggerinator]

Amazing machine. Looks like many people want it to solve the puzzle by itself next. If so, my idea to this would be: Let it record the path. So you get a map of the maze to solve it by hand. ( I know, the purpose of these mazes is to solve it by yourself. But it would be cool if you put in a maze you don´t know and see if you could solve it with the solution the program gives you. Would that be cheating?) But I would use the lower speeds. At the end when you dropped out the pin, it looked like there was some material taken off from the pin or maze. you can see it on the table.
