GETTING STARTED
About eX-Mars
eX-Mars is the world's first and only intelligent robot with
features including auto-scrambling, time-recording, solution-
recording, and step-by-step solving instruction for 3x3x3
cube.
Device layout
Turning eX-Mars on and off
Press the power button briefly to turn on eX-Mars.
Press and hold the power button for 4 seconds to turn off
eX-Mars.
Battery indicator
When the power is turned on by pressing the power button,
the battery level of 0 (low) to 4 (high) is displayed on all six
faces of the cube.
Charging the battery
Plug the small end of the charging cable (included in the
box) into the charger port of eX-Mars and plug the large end
of the cable into a power outlet.
Selecting a mode
Users can play eX-Mars without a mobile device.
When you turn on eX-Mars and press the power button
briefly (less than 4 seconds), the cube turns to the home
menu state.
① Turn the purple face knob to change the number on the
yellow face ② then rotate the yellow face knob 90 degrees
to select the upper digit of the mode, and ③ turn the purple
face to change the
number on green
face ④ then rotate
the green face knob
to select the lower
digit of the mode
If you press and hold the power button for 1 second and
then release it, it will be in a state where you can select
another mode just like when you turned on the power.
Let's run mode 00. (acts like a normal cube)
1) When the power is turned on, or in a state where
you can select another mode by pressing and
releasing the power button for 1 second, rotate the
yellow face (0) 90 degrees and the green face (0)
90 degrees to activate mode 00.
2) Turning one face 90 degrees rotates the color
pattern 90 degrees like a normal cube.
3) If you press and hold the power button for 0.5
seconds and then release it, the color of all 6 faces
will be matched.
Let's run mode 72. (If the user scrambles, AI solves it)
1) When the power is turned on, or in a state where
you can select another mode by pressing and
releasing the power button for 1 second, rotate the
purple face clockwise 90 degrees 7 times so that
the yellow face becomes 7.
2) Rotate the yellow face (7) 90 degrees.
3) Rotate the purple face 90 degrees clockwise twice
so that the number on the green face becomes 2.
4) Rotating the green face (2) 90 degrees activates
mode 72.
5) In mode 72, after scrambling the cubes as much as
the user wants, wait for more than 5 seconds and
the AI will solve it by itself.
Let's run mode 83. (playing jingle bells)
1) Rotate the purple face so that the number on the
yellow face is 8.
2) Rotate the yellow face (8) 90 degrees.
3) Rotate the purple face to change the number on
the green face to 3.
4) Rotate the green face (3) 90 degrees to activate
mode 83.
5) In Mode 83, eX-Mars solves while playing Jingle
Bells.
Let's run mode 10. (shows how to solve Stage 1)
1) Rotate the purple face so that the number on the
yellow face changes to 1.
2) Rotate the yellow face (1) 90 degrees.
3) Rotate the green face (0) 90 degrees.
4) Mode 10 automatically scrambles to become stage
1.
5) With the purple face facing you, follow the
instructions of eX-Mars.

BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF THE 3X3X3
PUZZLE CUBE
Types and features of blocks
3x3x3 puzzle cube consists of 3 types of blocks : Center
Block, Edge Block, and Corner Block.
The six center blocks are immobilized.
The 12 edge blocks have two cells each, and when moved,
only the edge blocks will change their position.
The eight corner blocks have three cells each, and when
moved, only the corner blocks will change their position.
Scramble and solving
Mixing blocks is called 'scramble' and restoring the mixed
blocks is called 'solving'. To do scramble or solving, you have
to rotate one or two of the six faces to change the position
of the edge blocks and corner blocks.
The meaning of ‘fit’
If a cell's color is the same as that of a center block cell on
the face where the cell is located, the cell is said to have
been 'fit'.
Posture and direction of rotation
To explain the solution for the solving of the puzzle cube,
define the posture of the puzzle cube, the direction of
rotation of each face, and the name of the area for the
location of the cell as follows:
The posture of the puzzle cube is intended to explain the
relative perspective of the user looking at the puzzle cube.
When the user looks at the puzzle cube, the face that shows
all nine cells is called the front face, the face where three cells
are on the right is called the right face, the face where three
cells are on the top is called the upper face, the face where
three cells are on the left is called the left face, the face
where three cells are on the bottom is called the bottom
face, and the last invisible face is called the back face.
Floor
In order to indicate the
location of the cell, layers of 1st
floor, 2nd floor, and 3rd floor
were defined as shown in the
figure.
EXMARS BEGINNER’S SOLUTION
STAGE ALGORITHM FORMULA
Stage 1 8th algorithm FR'FLL F'RFLL FF
Stage 2 7th algorithm R'F'L'F RF'LF
Stage 3 6th algorithm LUL'U LUUL‘ (U)
Stage 4 5th algorithm F RUR'U' F'
Stage 5
4th right algorithm U' RU'R' U'U' RU'R'
4th left algorithm U L'UL UU L'UL
Stage 6
3rd right algorithm RU'R'
3rd left algorithm L'UL
Stage 7 2nd algorithm -
Stage 8 1st algorithm -
This algorithm does not change the position of the upper
and bottom faces. So it's simple and only uses 4 different
postures.
It is recommended to practice each algorithm stage in the
order of Mode 1x(Learning)->Mode 2x(Solving).
After learning all the beginner algorithms, it is recommended
to practice with Master solving in Mode 3x.
Stage 1 - Learning : Mode 10* / Solving practice : Mode 20
* : ‘Mode 10’ means that user select the mode 10.
The goal of stage 1 is to fit
all cells and complete the
solving.
1) If there is at least one corner block that has been fit,
place that corner block on the right back of the third
floor and if there is no cornerblock that has been fit,
place that corner block on the 3rd floor and use the
formula FR'FLL F'RFLL FF.
2) Repeat 1) to complete the goal.
Stage 2 - Learning : Mode 11 / Solving practice : Mode 21
The goal of stage 2 is to
fit all yellow cells in
addition to the goal of
stage 3.
1) Position the yellow cell on the third floor in position a
and b. The priority is in the order a > b.
2) Use the stage 2 formula R'F'L'F RF'LF.
3) Repeat 1)~2) to complete the goal of stage 2.
Stage 3 - Learning : Mode 12 / Solving practice : Mode 22
The goal of stage 3 is to fit 4 cells in the middle of the 3rd
floor in addition to the goal of stage 4.
1) In stage 3, turn the upper face so that there are two
faces to which the mid cell on the 3rd floor is fit. At this
time, there are two cases, when the plane on which the
mid cell of the third floor is aligned is at an angle of 180
degrees and a case at 90 degrees.
2) In the case of 180 degrees, position one of the two faces
on which the mid cell on the 3rd floor is fit, and change
it to 90 degrees using the stage 3 formula LUL'U LUUL‘.
3) In the case of 90 degrees, position one of the two faces
where the mid cell on the 3rd floor is fit, one to the
front and the other to the left, and then execute the
stage 3 formula LUL'U LUUL‘ and U once.
Stage 4 - Learning : Mode 13 / Solving practice : Mode 23
Stage 5 - Learning : Mode 14 / Solving practice : Mode 24
Stage 6 - Learning : Mode 15 / Solving practice : Mode 25
Stage 7 - Learning : Mode 16 / Solving practice : Mode 26
Stage 8 - Learning : Mode 17 / Solving practice : Mode 27
