Oh hey, that's awesome. I forgot I ever did that.
You can use ksolve+ and generate algs involving sledges and rotations, but afaik each 'move' you define contributes 1 to the movecount. That is to say, "sledge y sledge" counts as 3 moves if "sledge" and "y" are defined moves.
That should go the other way around :rolleyes:

I think that Kilominx, Redi Cube, 2x2x3, 2x3x3, and Mirror Blocks/Bump Cube are too trivializable.
My intuition is that Master Pyraminx and Master Kilominx would not be trivializable, but there's not much hardware at the moment.
Another idea is...
The good news is that U = R L F2 B2 R' L' D R L F2 B2 R' L'.
The bad news is that you'll probably have to rewrite the solution algorithm yourself, without definition of U/U2/U'.
My solutions from CubingUSA Nationals 2018:
Moves in parentheses are done on the inverse.
26, 35, 29 = 30.00 mean
Not my best showing, but I haven't seriously practised FMC in probably a year(?)

Something else I found on the third attempt that I was NOT going to try officially:

A thread already exists for this...
...Are these going to be used for every competition? They take up literally pages and pages of space in the "New Posts" area.
Hello!
Nitin Subramanian, Ryan GJew, Eric Zhao, and I are organising the first-ever competition in Hawaii, and we cordially invite you to come solve with us!

There already exists a notation, albeit from before this website existed: suffix "a".

Examples:
Ua = U D
Ra = R L
Fa = F B
This gives us half-turns as well:
Ua2 = Da2 = U2 D2
Ra2 = La2 = R2 L2
Fa2 = Ba2 = F2 B2

This is arguably worse than the current convention, because of the fundamental closeness between kilo- and kibi-. It scales up well, though.
In general, calling these puzzles NxN dodecahedra is probably the simplest change, with Megaminx being the official name of the 3x3 dodecahadron (unless...
Why do you bother replying without consulting the Regs? This makes me very angry--people are looking for answer from the Regs, not from people who think they know the answer when they don't, or people who "probably" know what the answer is. Thanks to porky for a source :P
False...
I've reported your post in order for the mods to take quicker action (i.e. to see it in the first place).
This is weird, I never had this happen while I was a mod.
