3x3 scrambler experiment

[GenTheSnail]

I found a way to solve the cube in the <Rw,Uw> moveset a little over a year ago. Corners can be solved normally, and centers can be solve with a set up move and a wide uperm to cycle them. My main issue was finding a way to solve edges. Eventually I found a really long 3 cycle:

3 wide u-perms and 3 wide back u-perms, twice. It did the equivalent of [R B R', S]. If you do it three times, it flips DR and DF.

It's pretty rough and not efficient, but I'm pretty proud of it regardless.

Maybe you should look into bandaged cubes. If you don't want to buy them, you can play with them virtually by using CubeTwister. For example, I removed pieces from the 4x4x4 when finding this algorithm set for the AI cube v2 for someone on twistypuzzles. (Post 1 | Post 2)

Busy, but since I was summoned…

@Ben Whitmore generated a bunch of algs for this before. Also, I feel like I saw some activity on ⟨Rw,Uw⟩ solving methods not too long ago, although now that I'm looking for it again, I can't find it.

Yeah, I believe that a challenge was posted on the 2-gen example solve game, but that might have been as long as a year ago.
