If you look away from this Rubik's Cube-solving robot for even a second, you'll miss history.

The Sub 1 Reloaded cracked the notorious puzzle in just 0.637 seconds earlier this year, smashing its own mark of 0.887 seconds and setting the Guinness World Record.

The robot is the pride and joy of German engineer Albert Breer, who boosted its puzzle-solving power by adding a new Infineon chip.

Feliks Zemdegs holds the fastest time for a human, coming in way behind the machine at a sluggish 4.73 seconds.
