Speedcubing in Melbourne

[god of rubic 2]

For those of you, who want their cube modded/adjusted/lubed over the holidays.
Dayan 3x3's - 30$
SS 4x4 - 50$
SS 5x5 full-mod - 60$
SS 5x5 half-mod - 30$
SS 6x6 - 35$

I'd mod the cubes how my cubes are modded so you can try them out at the comp.
Can't go cheaper, it's already a lower wage than i'm getting at maccas.

I wish I could do all of them...

Inboxing you now on the ss 4x4.

What do you actually do to dayan 3x3's?

Also, are you only doing them on the holidays? Could it be afterwards?

I don't really have time after the holidays because of year 12, but well maybe we can arrange something.

 

[ottozing]

does anybody have a spare, well modded SS 4x4 i could borrow at the competition?
i just spent all week modding mine and it didnt work out very well.. (it pops and locks up more)

i have a modded ss 4x4 v3 you could try out.

(NOTE: i havent done the full florian mod, only the konsta mod and sanding the bumps of the corners that stick out at the top)

Hi all. I am new here, and a fairly recent cuber. anyway, I am in Melbourne, and can solve in about 2-3 minutes. Yes, I know this is utter lameness with respect to a majority of y'all. But I would like to meetup next time so that I can meet some people and hopefully become less sucky.

Go on facebook and join RMIT uni group, they usually have one every wednesdays at their uni near melbourne central so should see hungry jacks easily. They are people better than you so they can help you!

Adam,
Thanks for the info. I do not do facebook though. Is there a mailing list or irc room for local cubers, or subreddit?

Just look every few days into this thread.
All the meetups we had (not the RMIT ones of course), were organised through this thread

Yup, that's why I kinda joined ;-)

Our next comp is in September and it's the nationals.

I went to my first comp yesterday and it was extremely fun.

We should have a few meetings before then and you can come along.

Hi all.

Hi Matt,

Tim from the tram here.

There's #rubik on irc.freenode.net and r/speedcubing but not many people here discuss cubing on reddit.

Just a heads up: there are a fair amount of trolls on this forum and in #rubik. But most of them are capable of being helpful and friendly

Tim.

Thanks bud! Yeah, I've been on /r/speedcubing for about a year. I never browse it heavily, as it seemed to get very little traffic. Thanks for the info. I look forward to catching up with the locals soon, and learning more!

Ah, nice. Yeah, I am totally not competition material. In fact, I don't plan to compete. I just want to meet some interesting folk, and improve my skills

You don't have to compete, you'll definitely meet many many people at a comp and learn many new things.

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Compete!

I am not competing material either, I am still sup-60 in fact. However it is fun to enter, and it'll be an experience, plus you'll get a ranking!

 

[Florian]

Former world record holder Erik Akkerdjik wasn't even sub-40 when he first competed.
There were few competitiors at this competition, who weren't sub-1.
anyway there is probably no correlation between solving time and fun at a competition.
So just come and compete.

My father has been competing for over a year, and got his personal best of 1:10 yesterday at the competition. Everyone is welcome
