A simple time-saver setup:
Instead of animating the constraints...
For example:
The middle horizental row is rotated 90 deg.
Now you want to rotate the middle vertical row.
Duplicate the common cube from the previous rot and parent it to the new
vertical group.
Turning ON/OFF visibility relative to when the next rotated row is animated
and turning OFF the old cube will allow you to follow the anim as you go and
group the common duplicates also.
If you don't have the time to RnD the Expressions/Script/etc... this might
get you going.

I'm trying to think of a good way to animate a Rubik's cube. The most
obvious way that I can think of is to manually turn off and on a bunch of
constraints to nulls. Has anyone come across this before? Any tips or
suggestions?
Thanks.
