started playing around with my meilong m and i absolutely love it, especially the lube. can i get this anywhere? cant find it on scs, and cubicle has them marked as discontinued...
1. Smart cubes will perform worse than normal cubes
2. Scrambles could be inspected pre solve (hackerman moment)
3.theres literally only like 4 smartcubes on the market afaik
I dont think 2020 will have any negative impact on the community.
No comps != no cubers
A lot of these new cubers from quarantine (myself included)
Have never been to a comp, therefore arent missing them yet, as they have never experienced them. Thats how i feel at least.
With needing several robots, you might be thinking a bit too small. Nobody ever specified how many cube slots it should have, you could have one robot scramble multiple cubes at once. Financial/design aspect does come into play here tho.
In that case, why did they not just scramble the magic from the start? Couldnt have been changed due to records existing already, but this has to have come up in their minds when adding the magic...
also a bit more on topic, i recently had a conversation about this with a friend who is a delegate, and they said that there are no plans on removing clock. its a controversial event, but unlike magic its an actual puzzle that can be scrambled.
4x4 clock sounds amazing! only ever solved virtual clocks, theyre fun but a bit too easy, 4x4 clock might be interesting. or 'cuboid' clocks, like 4x3? 5x2? would be very interesting!
