I'm switching back to Vandenbergh for square-1. Sorry Lin fans.

I have some reasons.

1. I am going to compete in the Permutation League soon, which will very likely have squan as an event. I am simply faster with Vandenbergh because I am more used to it, and I don't have the time to catch up with Lin
2. I'm bad at blockbuilding on squan, obviously I could work on making this better but I'm lazy and I'd rather learn algs lmao
3. first block recog is garbo

I don't know whether I can ask this here but what squan would you recommend? I want to get my first ever squan because it sounds fun and interesting

I'd recommend the Yuxin Little Magic. The Volt V2 is better in my opinion, but it's more expensive and it constantly breaks.

edit: YJ is releasing a new square-1 in February (I'm pretty sure), you might want to wait for that! People testing the prototypes say that it's far better than both the Volt V2 and and the YLM

Ok , I guess I will wait until YJ releases their square-1! Thank you!

just tighten it a ton before each solve, and try cleaning under the plastic nut.

The Permutation League S2 will happen in the Easter holidays most likely, so you have time, and you can get the MGC Squan
