MindCub3r v2p2

==============

MindCub3r LEGO MINDSTORMS robots can solve the well known Rubik's Cube puzzle.

There are two EV3 variants that can be built from either a single LEGO
MINDSTORMS EV3 set (item 31313, home edition) or from a combination of the
LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Education Core and Expansion sets (items 45544 and 45560)

Construct the robot by carefully following the build instructions and then
download and install the software as described on the MindCuber website:

v1p7 + improved auto white balance (particularly for bright orange)


+ reduce threshold to improve scan position with low battery
+ adjust position of scan arm for edge pieces to improve scan
+ increase range for IR sensor for more reliable cube detection

v1p6 + improve solve algorithm (still small enough for Education firmware)
+ only resolve "cube errors" on third scan

v1p5 + automatically adjust scan sample position to improve scan reliability
