Rubik's cube solver bot
To achieve a cube solution, you must be able to rotate the whole cube by 90° in two orthogonal axes, and be able to turn a face by 90° relative to the rest of the cube.
I opted to use the left and right grabbers to turn the faces; the yellow grabber can rotate the left face by an 90°; the green grabber can rotate the right face by 90°; or they can both turn simultaneously while the bottom grab is open to rotate the whole cube through 90°.

Do you sincerely want to be HUGE?
No, not another spam offer for appendage enhancement. How about a huge URL?
