  The Rubiks Cube Solution
After spending hours and days twisting and turning the vaunted cube in vain, many resorted to removing and replacing the multi-colored facelets of the cube in a dastardly attempt to cheat the seemingly infallible logic of the cube, while others simply tossed it to the side and dubbed it impossible.
The Rubik's cube, it seemed, had defeated all.

 JP Brown's Serious LEGO - CubeSolver
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.
The bottom gabber holds the center 'slice' of the cube when the left or right grabber is turning a single face, and also provides a 90° turn for rotating the whole cube.
The tricky part is to re-orient the cube between moves to present the next face to be turned by the left or right grabber.
