a lanyard? awesome! im already registered on cubingusa.com (trevor spitzley) so do i get a lanyard as well?

You could just show up and register the morning of the competition. People who register by Monday will get a lanyard with their name on it though.

**** I have Jazz band the third so I can't go!

Alright, thanks for letting me know. I took you off the registration list.

Who's selling 3x3s?

I have a few unused Guhongs that I'd be willing to sell to anyone.

They won't be speed-worthy the day of the competition though. They're stickered and assembled, but need to be lubed and broken in.

Yep, you're all set.

The only other puzzle that is for sale other than a 3x3 is an Mf8 Square-1 v1.

I am interested. Do you have a price in mind?

Does $6 sound good?

I'll have to try the square-1 out, but if I like it, then $6 sounds good.

 

[KingTim96]

awesome! what does the lanyard look like? by the way do i pay the registration fee when i get there? or is there some way to pay online?

How much? Really just need a guhong corner and center cap but I think it's easier to buy a new cube. Are they modded?
I can just bring my traxxas and a screwdriver so he isn't stuck with a cube he can't control.


I don't know if it's just me but I find my (2) guhongs uncontrollable and the zhanchi too slow/clicky/crispy.

You pay for it when you get there.

Hey, I just wanted to remind everyone to record plenty of videos of the competition!
And to break some WRs or something.

 

[nascarjon]

I might try to make it. I'm supposed to go to a FIRST Robotics competition that day, but we'll see if I can talk my wife into this instead I haven't been to a competition in years!

 

[Anthony]

Changed number of people advancing to 20 people to second rounds and 10 to finals due to a larger number of registered competitors than I had anticipated.
If things go smoothly, which they probably will considering we'll have three delegates attending as well as a lot of help from my friends, even more people may be able to advance.

Awesome. Hope to see you there!

I'd be willing to help with judging/scrambling if you want any more help (as long as I go early in the rounds). I'm thinking about organizing a competition in the future and would think seeing the whole process would be beneficial.

If you don't like it, I'm interested. I don't really like shape shifting cubes but I'll take it if you don't like it.

Since the price of gasoline has gone up by nearly 50 cents per gallon this week, there's no way that I can afford two four-hour drives this weekend

'Ey! is anyone selling lubix 3x3's? i was looking into buying one on saturday, because i HATE waiting for it to come in the mail

 

[KingTim96]

anyone want an eastsheen 2x2? haha dont worry im not joking i hate this thing and it needs to go. any new cubers reading this? buy a lanlan, they're awesome. and way better than eastsheen and pretty cheap. btw anyone know of a good 5x5? i've heard good and bad things about both the shenshou 5x5 and the v-cube 5. so im just trying to make a good decision on which one is better.

 

[Yuxuibbs]

Are there going to be v cube 6x6 cores? Is anyone willing to give or sell me their EMPTY lubix syringe?

I think it's better/cheaper to get a brand new cube and mod it until it's an ultimate, lube it the same way.
I just don't want to give away my old pink guhong (only dayan cube i don't use as a main) because my grandparents bought it for me.

SS is way better out of the box whereas the V-Cube requires quite a bit of breaking in/lubing/etc. Once fully broken in, however, it is slightly better than the SS unless you fully mod the SS, in which they are probably about equal. Just depends on personal preference. IMO, get the SS. If you are lazy and decide not to mod it or anything it will be better - and if you do plan on modding/breaking in/etc then it will be about equal to the V-Cube. It's also about $20 cheaper.

 

[KingTim96]

thanks, when the time comes i will order the SS 5x5 from cubedepot.com but on a different note. will the white dayan guhong come will its own torpedos? i've always wanted to try them, and if not do you know of anyone willing to sell some? thank you.

If you get the Guhong v2, it will come with torpedoes. If you get the v1, it will not. iCubeMart and Lubix sell them separately. You may need to do a bit of modding (nothing major) to get them to fit in if you do end up buying them separately. Here is Lubix's tutorial on it.

 

[Yuxuibbs]

-White Dayan Lingyun v1 - $6
-White Dayan Lunhui - $6
-Black Dayan Taiyan - $5
-White Alpha V - $6
-White Alpha III-f - $5
-White Dayan GuHong - $6
-Black Edison Cube - $10
-White Alpha CC (comes with edge inserts/extra screws/etc) - $8
-Black Gans 2 - $5
-White ShengEn FIII (Limited Edition from iCubeMart, stickered by ShengEn owner himself) - $10

A lot of people came up to me and said they wanted cubes so can you bring all the cubes, I'll choose whatever is left? I want the lunhui, alpha cc, alpha V, and guhong for sure. My science teacher wants the guhong.
