Or I could name them after Sonic the Hedgehog characters. Black = Shadows, Blue = Sonic, Red = Knuckles, Yellow = Miles/Tails, White = Silver.

Any other ideas of naming?
 
I'm going to my first competition in a few weeks..

Is there something you would recommend I take [other than my cubes, of course]?? Also, is there anything about competitions that I should know about before going to one?

A screwdriver.

At least one person will need one.
 
When doing the first 3BLD of this week's competition (U2 L2 R2 U F2 D2 B2 U2 R2 B' R D2 U2 R2 B R2 F' U L' B R) using old Pochmann edges and cube oriented Yellow on U, Orange on F, I see my first edge to solve in the buffer position (UR) is flipped. I tried to flip as a single edge cycle but it flipped the second piece (at UL)! Should I have ignored its orientation and started with another piece hoping that (or rather "safe in the knowledge that") the flip would correct itself?

This is what I would do in that position:
start the cycle as UL is the first and then when you get UL/LU again then the buffer gets solved. I just remember that.
 
i have two questions, but they can be easily answered, so i think it fits here.

1.) is there a commutator that can swap to opposite corners, without affecting edges? if so, what is it?

2.) how many mini cubes are there, excluding keychain ones.
and naming the types would be nice.

Not possibly, and I'll check the Wiki.

Mini Maru, Mini DS, Mini A, Micro A, miniC, miniQJ if you count 4x4.
