Next V-cube?

[EmersonHerrmann]

I sent an email to Verdes about this but they have not responded yet

anyway, what do you think their next Vcube will be? V4? Black V6? Black V7? V8? I saw on their models that are coming soon, there was a 6x6 that was rounded like the 7x7. So, what's your prediction?

P.S. - if there is already a thread on this, please direct me to it

P.S.S. - As many others, I am most excited about the V4 =D

I haven't seen any threads on this. I can't remember where, but I remember hearing that a V-3 is in the works. I, for one, would like to see that.

Yeah a V3 would be pretty nice Lets hope it's somehow adjustable like a DIY (if it isn't, that would be fine by me).

i am much more excited for the V-4. hopefully it will combine the smoothness of an eastsheen with the flexibility of an old rubiks brand. i really like new eastsheens, but they only last me about 5-7 months before they start to suck. and i think the V-6b(pillowed) will pop a lot less than the current V-6s and will handle more like the v-7s do.

i am also very excited for the V-2, but i have a feeling that it is a long ways off. im not sure if the V-3 would be any better than other 3x3s out there right now, it would just be different. since 3x3 is a matter of preference i cant see the v-3 becoming the dominant cube like the v-5 has.

obviously black 6s and 7s would be easiest, since they already have the castin equipment worked out, they just have to use the other plastic.

edit: and this should probably be moved to the hardware area

I want to see 11x11's, mostly because multi 11x11 BLD would be amazing to watch

 

[hawkmp4]

Multi _what_ 11x11?

 

[Crickets]

Yeah I agree with Vault I can't wait for the V-4 and V-6b. I'm not going to buy a V-6, just wait for a V-6b since it will probably be soooo much better.

What ru talking about?

 

[hawkmp4]

That's what I'm asking you. What is multi 11x11? Surely you don't mean BLD.

dude, it says BLD, not just multi 11x11, because that would make no sense at all

if the v-2 and v-3 came out, the world will explode from the supersonic sounds that these will make, that is, if they work better than the cubes we have now

I agree, I saw their patent and these may actually live up to the "no pops" standard of v-cubes because they're much smaller and the core looks like it may function well under stress. If you do a google patent search for cubic logic toy, I believe you can see the patent for yourselves

Right. I missed that. Now I see you meant multiBLD, and that's why I say you're absolutely insane.

oh lol I missed your edit too freaky coincidence

I would like to see V4, it's the only big cube that I can actually speed solve and BLD it would not be very hard.
Of course, V8 would be nice to play chess on. (I'll find a way to get some sticky or perhaps magnetic pieces/ stickers.)
Other sizes aren't so interesting for me. V3 seems pointless, there's no way that it would be faster than current speedcubes.

 

[Vulosity]

A V3 would be pointless because DIY's already are good.

I'm already satisfied with an ES 2x2.

I'd like to see: V4, V6b.

 

[hawkmp4]

DIYs are good, but what if a V-3 is as good or better than a DIY, and is unpoppable?

I agree v4 would be nice. and v8 would also be nice to play chess on

and yeah 3x3 is all up to personal preference so i do agree that v3 is pointless TO AN EXTENT. There could be some changes in design that some puzzle shops *cough* cube4you *cough* hasn't tried yet that could revolutionize the 3x3 world. The speedsolving community will just have to wait and find out.

Fine, I' like to see a V3, too. The V3 being un-popable seems nice.

 

[fanwuq]

Impossible. I like my A/C combo, it is faster than any other DIY I tried and do not really pop much for me.

Actually, a V2 wouldn't be bad. I don't like ES2, and I'm too lazy to mod a 3x3 DIY into a 2x2.
