This video is a Rubiks Cube SLOW Step By Step Solution How To Video
I recommend you watch the video from start to end, at least once, before starting to manipulate your own cube.
The cube I used is a special high speed Rubik's Cube, if you need one please purchase using this link, doing so will give me a few cents in commission, but will cost you nothing.
Note: Your Rubik's Cube colours and positions will be different to the one I used as there are most likely Billions of combinations, but the pattern moving solutions and algorithms should work with your Cube once you have practised and understood the moves. This video is deliberately SLOW so watchers can copy the move and solve their CUBE in near real time just watching and pausing and doing.
The Rubik's Cube Is A Great Way For People Of All Ages To Keep The Hands, Eyes And Minds Active. Solving the Rubik's Cube takes a certain degree of mental agility and 3D Dexterity plus a high level of concentration and memory, in the use of complex algorithms. But most of all its great fun. As I've gotten older my hands fingers have become stiff and several arthritic, manipulating the Rubik's Cube helps my fingers and joints warm up and reduces joint freezing and stiffness. The mental concentration required to solves the cube of help as your though processes and hand to eye co-ordination reduce with age. As a diabetic I have discovered another side effect, it is totally impossible for me to complete the Rubik's Cube with a low blood sugar, so the Cube can indicate when blood sugar levels giving the diabetic a hint to eat when no blood glucose testing equipment is to hand. I plan to look into this further.
Its also a good BREXIT-anaesthetic

Unused Robosapien V2 Wiring Damage
Having taken this Robosapien V2 out of the box and removed its body panels I noticed some rotting wire damage, but as I took off the plastic wire wrap that holds the wires neatly together the insulation on the wire completely disintegrated making a mess everywhere and exposing all the copper wires shorting them out. Had there been batteries in this robot the wires would have begun melting and the batteries dangerously overheating and leaking.

A Great Opportunity To See And Unloved Huge Toy Robot Rejuvenated
I've managed to get hold of a WowWee Robotics Robosapien RS V2 in White which must have been purchased as new before 2009. This unit is fully boxed and although the box is a little tatty, it has all the internal panels and restraints in place. This truly is an Unloved Toy that must have sat in a garage or attic somewhere for over a decade, only to be discovered and sold to me. As many of you know these robots had a serious Manufacturing fault in that the insulated wire running between the chest input/output and CPU boards to the sensors and motors in the legs was gravely inferior. Since manufacture the wire sleeving has dried up turning the brittle dust. If the V2 Robot had batteries in it when this happen it invariably died and in some cases caught fire due to the huge current for the 6 x D size batteries shorting out and in some cases exploding. What makes this one so very special is it has never had batteries in it, its wiring although most likely dried out has never short-circuited. Its also serendipitous that I happen to see it on eBay and purchase it as repaired Humanoid Robots is my speciality. There I should be able to return this rare unused Robosapien V2 to Brand New state before passing it on to a good home. So if you were ever interested in robots as a child and fixing things this Four Part series is for you or a geek you know or for a child who is handy with a screw driver. Please try not to skip through the video as there are important links to as the "i" information link in the top right hand corner. Thanks for your continued support through my fixed1t support links at the end of my videos and for being my subscribers, its much appreciated.

Unboxed WOWWEE Robosapien RS V2 - Part 1
This White Robosapien V2 Is Unused Having Been Its Box Since It Was Purchased Some Decades Ago The Owner said it was purchased for a small child who was scared of it as it was as big as them so it was put in storage and forgotten about for decades.
You would imagine that I'd be putting batteries in it to test it, but I won't. You see these V2 robots have a terrible secret in that due to terrible wiring being used in the torso and legs if it is powered up and moved it will short-circuit itself and die in a spectacular manner with massively overheating wiring and batteries.
So I Won't Be Putting Batteries In It Until Its Been Inspected For V2 Dangerous Wiring

Wowwee Robosapien V2 Bronze Serious Repair Part 3
After some additional work and after safely replacing multiple panels back on this Bronze WowWee Robotics Robosapien RS V2 Humanoid Robot I have him fully rewired and serviced. Here he is going through his paces.
These Robots were so far ahead of their time and rewired they should last a very long time, perhaps one will one day be owned by a true AI Robot as a Toy.
What I'm really happiest about is I have given this non-recyclable Robot a new lease of life to go on and be the play thing or collectors prised possession rather than being crushed and dumped as waste for future generations to clear away. If my videos can instil the excitement of fixing things in a new teen and pre-teen generation so they do not follow their compulsive "Buy Cheap And Throw Out" parents then I'll be happy.
Some watchers have complained my videos are slow, and explain to much, don't get straight to the point, are too long etc etc but you don't teach with snippets, exuberance doesn't make up for lack of detail, and a few minutes spent watching and learning can instil a lifetime of "I can fix this myself".
If I had one wish, it would be for people to watch my entire videos rather than quit after 1:25 secs

Wowwee Robosapien V2 Bronze Serious Repair Part 1
Wowwee Robosapien V2 Bronze Serious Repair Part 1
fixed1t Toy Repair Shed
I was contacted by a guy who had stumbled upon my warning video on the problems with the wiring in the Robosapien V2 just as he'd put batteries into this BRONZE Robospaien V2 in another room, he rushed back into the room to find the Robot Smoking and White Hot Battery Fluild Pouring Out Of The Bottom Of The Robot. He immediately took the robot outside and with gloves removed the batteries with the smell of burning plastic and Alkaline in his nostrils. He contacted me to thank me for preventing a possible catastrophic fire.
He then purchased a fully fixed1t rewired V2 and sent me this one as a gift from Canada with the rider if I ever fix it I'd let him have first option. This Bronze WOWWEE Robosapien RS V2 Robot Has Serious Damage Caused By The Wires Short Circuiting Leading To Battery Overheating And Leaking In This Multi-Part Video I'll fixed1t

Wowwee Robotics RSV2 Silver Clicking Hand Gear I fixed1t
fixed1t Toy Repair Shed I purchased this Silver WowWee Robotics Robosapien RS V2 from eBay sold as "Fully Working" but as can be the case he wasn't as Fully Working as he should have been.
When I switched him on he appeared to be perfect until head turned his head to the left then a loud clattering was heard and his Head an Left Arm started twitching violently as you can see at the start. But luckily for him he had come to the right place the "fixed1t Toy Repair Shed".
The video shows the before and after, he's now fully fixed1t and serviced and working great and ready for his travels to a new home.
