I'm 90% sure I should be keeping this secret, but who cares:
Rubik's interviewed me at World Championships. They let me try this cube (Rubik's 2.0), and it was pretty crappy, but better than the original. Corner cutting still kinda suffered. But here is the juicy stuff:
After the interview, a Rubik's representative lady had another cube for me to try and she recorded a solve of me using it. It was a Rubik's speedcube. I turned it, and oh my god. It was actually really good. It felt somewhat like a Fangshi without the sandy feeling. It was fast and insanely stable. I knew it wouldn't pop for its life. I think it also had tiles (or did I confuse it with the other one?) and it definitely had adjustable screws. iirc the corner cutting was fairly good (1 piece or 45 degrees). My solve was 12, which sucked, but it was also the second day of worlds right after multi BLD and I was not so great that day. I got a 13.99 average that day, so I guess that was good for Saturday. But here's what you guys won't believe:
The cube was unlubed and untensioned, totally out of the box. That's right. It was faster than my 55mm zhanchi, and this thing was completely out of the box. Now just imagine how amazing a lubed cube would be.
Wow. Just wow. A Rubik speedcube? Mind is blown.
So, there is a Rubik 2.0 and besides that an actual Rubik speedcube?
