[Help Thread] Void Cube Discussion

[Stefan]

There's a thread about it here with early discussion when void cubes came out.

Hmm, I had forgotten my approach to set up the LL edges into an inner slice, turn that, and undo the setup (what Dominate also did now, and we actually came up with the [post=84639]exact same alg[/post]). A short one using that idea and which keeps "F2L" (and LL corners) intact: M2 u M' u' M2. (Edit: ugh, Kenneth posted M2 U M U' M2 back then already. Don't know how he thought about it, though. One perspective is setting up and cycling the four LL edges. Another perspective is to just do M, but putting DF and DB away to safe places beforehand.)

Rubik's brand void cube

I have 2 and I love them. Are the rubik's brand ones the best on the market?

Is there really any need to buy a void cube apart from collecting reasons? Isn't it just the same to remove the centers on a reguler 3x3?

Yes that is right but there is some parity that happens on the LL when solving it. Also its fun showing a Void to non-cubes cause most of the time there reactions are "How is this possible for the cube to move without the centers?"

Most of my friends think that I simply took the core out. :/

void cube is dumb

but I found this not long ago

I recently had an idea for an old 3x3 I had laying around. The idea is, if I take off the center stickers, would the cube become a mock void cube? Before I do it, I want to ask it here in case there is something wrong with my theory. Any feedback would be very useful!

 

[OrigamiCuber1]

Yes, technically it would be. It's not a VOID cube though because it has no holes

 

[AlexMaass]

Yes it would.

Thanks, I just want to make a mock void cube, so the holes aren't that important to me.

 

[Stalebread]

Yes it would.

Thank you, I am going to make it now!

Well in that case yes. You could still get the parity on your void cube

 

[Stalebread]

Well in that case yes. You could still get the parity on a void cube

So I won't get parity on my mock cube?

 

[OrigamiCuber1]

No you can.

 

[Stalebread]

No you can.

Oh I misunderstood. Thanks so much! :tu

You don't have to remove the centre stickers. You can just ignore them.

 

[samuelqwe]

You don't have to remove the centre stickers. You can just ignore them.

Or just take off the center caps.

 

[PenguinsDontFly]

Or just take off the center caps.

My thought exactly...

 

[Mr Beast]

Ya it does. If I'm bored I'll take off the center tiles on my Zhanchi and its basically the exact same as a void, apart from the fact you cant stick your fingers through it

 

[ECubesDesignerX]

You could remove the center caps, cut down the center pieces a bit, and put the caps back on. Then, it will partially resemble a void cube.
