Should stickerless cubes be allowed in WCA competition?

[WitEden]

I want to ask everybody,Can the color version of combined DaYan Guhong participate in WCA competition? ? ?

Color Guhong is used 6 color (white,yellow,blue,green,red,orange) to combine, it is a stickerless cube,very beautiful!

I think it can participate in WCA competition!

its not painted. I'm sure it would be allowed, but according to the regulations it isn't legal. That is the fault of the regulations though.

so if I buy this I would be allowed to use it?

If you look carefully at the first image it is possible to work out the colours on the back faces, underneath the white cubies. This happens because the plastic is slightly translucent, allowing the colour from the rear faces to pass through the white plastic. For example I can 'see' that the colour opposite blue is green, and that opposite orange is orange/red.

The effect isn't as obvious on the scrambled version because the majority of light is coming from behind the viewer. If the light comes from behind the cube however, the effect is much more obvious.

Depends on what Delegate is there, probably.

Cride: I can't really see it but a slight hue along the edge. I wouldn't really call it an advantage.

I think if this is really an issue we should bring this up on the WCA website and let the Delegates discuss the issue. It might require some hands on with the cubes though so it might not be allowed by nationals but maybe in the future?


Witeden: I don't feel like registering an account just to find the shipping price (I was doing it through the checkout method), so how much is shipping?
