6x6 cage method

[EvanCahill]

I have already solved one side of the 6x6 using general reduction and have built the cage around the opposite center. I would like to be able to lift center pieces up into the cage but have only been able to lift up the four edge center pieces. Was wondering if anyone knows any algorithms to piece by piece place center pieces in, and also how to place in the 4 center pieces. Thanks

I am not familiar with the algorithms for this method, but I am curious: Why cage method? I'm not saying it's a bad choice, I just want to see the benefits of it.
I can't really think of anything using standard commutators, so I guess you'll just have to look for some walkthrough solves or a tutorial that goes in-depth.
Also, which four centers? I think that may help whoever has any info on this method.
Good luck

I want to use the cage method because that's how I learned to solve a 4x4, and am familiar with the process. But as the cube grows I have trouble adapting the algorithms of the 4x4.

Sarah has a 5x5 cage tutorial here which you may find useful?

Why cage method?

There is no long parity algs to learn AFAIK. But I prefer reduction method too...

I'm not sure but you should maybe look at the [WIKI]Niklas[/WIKI]. The alg [2R, U' 2L' U] may help you. It just moves 3 X-centers. The alg [2R, U' 3L' U] moves 3 obliques.
