LEGO Rubik Utopy started travelling on 22 September 2007, to be shown at the Natural History National Museum of Luxembourg,at the Cirque des Sciences. In the photo you can see me with the Convict director Claude Baumann and some students. From left to right: Laurent, Eric, Mr Baumann, Georges, Paul Nicolas and me (with LEGO orange T-shirt).

On 25-28 October I will show it at The Festival of Creativity. The event will hold inside the Fortezza da Basso, Firenze (Tuscany, Italy).

 

 

 

 

 

 

On 25-28 October, the robot has been shown at The Festival of Creativity. The event held inside the Fortezza da Basso, Firenze (Tuscany, Italy).

The really cool thing was that I was asked to inaugurate the whole Festival, challenging the region president of  Toscana Claudio Martini to solve the Rubik's cube faster than the LRU. The robot won, of course!

 

 

The event was reported also by RAI3.

While there at the Festival in Florence, I was interviewed by MTV. The TV special "MTV creation in progress" was broadcast on 24th November 2007.

 

 

 

Then I was invited to show LRU on RAI1, the Italian national first channel. I was in the opening of the program "Uno Mattina" the 7 November 2007.

Me with the MC Eleonora Daniele, and with the journalist Luca Giurato.

 

 

Without a single day of rest, on 8th November 2007 I was the main guest in the program "1x1", a live show on SAT2000. We were talking about the application of Mathematics, often detested by most students; I was there to show what can be done applying Maths!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The MC Arianna Ciampoli and the people in the studio were literally astonished by the performance.

 

 

 

 

Back at home, I released an interview for the local emittent TV9 (Grosseto, Italy).

The subtitle states "A robot to solve the Rubik's enigma".

 

 

 

Last (for now) but not least, LEGO Company asked me to show the LRU in the German program "Clever!" broadcasted the 6th of February 2008 on SAT.1.

I must admit I was in good company!
