We've seen the record-setting Rubik's Cube puzzle-solving by human and machine, but a new version of the cube hopes to set a different kind of record: the biggest, fully functional Rubik's Cube ever.

That was Tony Fisher's goal when he set about creating his massive Rubik's Cube, which you have to walk around and push to move the colored squares into place. The cube is about five feet wide, weighs about 220 pounds and has an overall volume that's about 20,000 times larger than a normal Rubik's Cube.

Fisher, a veteran puzzle maker, says it took several weeks between January and February 2016 to build it. In the video, he mentions other attempts at building large, functional Rubik's Cubes, but hopes to submit his own to the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's largest.
