That looks very interesting. Can you tell me the Chinese name so I can look it up?

奥迪 (the name of the company) 李开隆 (the name of the cube? but its actually a guys name)

Thanks! It seems like Chinese designed cubes seem to tend to be superior?

 

[SpeedSolve]

That looks like a cool cube. I'd think about buying it if they made it legal for competition.

 

[CarlBrannen]

I think you could modify this cube to make it legal. If you refinish the surfaces, you should be able to hide the defects.

 

[emolover]

So where can I buy this cube?

Um most people use dayan cubes which are based off of v-cubes. V-cubes are Greek. That being said, there aren't enough cube designers to make a statement "country x designs the best cubes".

Why is it illegal?

 

[Ked Ki]

Why is it illegal?

I believe he is referring to this:

"3j) Puzzles must be clean and must not have any markings, elevated pieces, damages, or other differences that distinguish one piece from a similar piece."

From the WCA Regulations:

[Shamankian]

But if all the edges got the same kind of elevation, you wouldn't be able to distinguish one from another... Would you?

 

[Endgame]

Um some people use V-cubes which are based off of Dayan cubes. Dayan cubes are Chinese. That being said, there aren't enough cube designers to make a statement "country x designs the best cubes".

yeah

You can feel the orientation of each edge.

Why are asymetrical built edge pieces competition illegal?
It looks like a great cube, hoe the "flaws" can be ironed out

You can feel the orientation of each edge.

We will have to either wait for a second version or try to smooth out these little edges.

 

[Meep]

The edges aren't symmetrical in that you'd be able to tell edge orientation just by feeling pieces in the back and such.

Edit: Based on the video, at least. I don't see anything in this picture: http://img03.taobaocdn.com/imgextra/i3/26178047/T29rysXeRaXXXXXXXX_!!26178047.jpg

That's a different cube. You can also tell by the weird corners. Scroll further down for the right cube.

They aren't - unless they violate the regulations. And why did you ask that after someone else had already asked the same and we had already answered it?

It was merely an observation, but yes, now I see how there isn't enough to really compare. I actually didn't know Dayan was based off V-cube specifically, I thought they just went off the general "magic cube" idea, from, you know, Erno Rubik. Can anyone else confirm?

I'm not sure, but I thought DaYan came up with the idea of torpedoes. And anyway, isn't V-Cube's mech principally about big cubes?
(I know they have a 3x3 now, but based off the reviews I've read it's no match for DaYan)

Sorry for that, but I didn't see a single reply when I opened this thread, might have been a bug
