Adding stickers to stickerless Guhong?

[Olji]

thats for me too, the plasic on the stickerless guhong seems more....dunno how to say it.... flat? and maybe the lack of stickers play some role in the weigth (although they dont weigth that much >.<)

Not sure if this has been brought up before, are stickerless guhongs legal in BLD solves?

No.

 

[hic2482w]

No.

Why wouldn't they be?

Why wouldn't they be?

Recognition would be easier.

Recognition would be easier.

Why would it becuase you can't turn the cube during memo or inspection so the extra colored bits wouldn't be seen.

Oops, I forgot to check back on this. >< Haha.

Thanks for the help everyone, I think I will just end up buying a brand new one.
And on the idea that the stickerless is lighter, from what I've seen from taking mine apart, the pieces are incredibly thin and hollow. It seems like the core is 80% of the weight! But obviously I don't have a stickered one to compare it, so I can't say that that is the reason for sure.

I keep thinking the same thing. I don't see any reason it shouldn't be, but it looks like dumb rules are still rules. >.>

Half the edges, get a black GuHong do the same, stick em together, do something to the corners like paint the insides and BAM competiton legal.

or just use the black guhong you got...

lol. But what if you want the coloured pieces?

 

[Magix]

Well someone once posted that they use crappier plastic for black cubes because nobody will notice anyway, so maybe that's why stickerless is better.

 

[Olji]

never heard of that, guess I'll buy another guhong to check :3

lol. But what if you want the coloured pieces?

if you want the colored pieces, then why are you buying a black guhong? and if you paint the insides theres a risk that the performance of the cube will drop as hell, why not buy a white guhong and paint the outsides? it will eventually chip off, but hey! lets paint it again then

Quite ambiguous, but still it is left to the comp. delegate to decide.

i'd like to see you try to put a logo onto a center piece of a 2x2 cube which is what the regulations require for all cubes

No. Only for Rubik's Cube (3x3) and bigger do the WCA regulations require a logo to be on one of the center pieces.

"3l) Cube puzzles must have at most one logo. For Rubik's Cube or bigger cube puzzles the logo must be placed on one of the centre pieces."

 

[KingTim96]

what if you bought a cube from someone, say a dayan guhong v2, and the sticker wore off. can i still use it to compete?

If you're talking about the logo wearing off, then yes, it's still competition legal.

Either only one logo, or none, it fascinating how many people that understands it wrong, me included when I was new.

 

[Daniel Wu]

At most meaning no more than one logo. So 0 or 1.

 

[ThePizzaGuy92]

What about adding black stickers to all sides of the stickerless cubes? Daaaaaang

I find it extremely amusing to see how many people *– including myself *– have problems understanding (3l) of the WCA regulations.

But I disgress. If a cube is banned, it is banned. Not matter in which way(s) you modify it. It still is banned.

The WCA ban on stickerless cubes is in my honest opinion stupid. During a speedsolve there is no way you have time to look at ~3mm of colour, which in most cases blends in with the background.
