Anyone living in Western Australia has access to comps for the rest of their life, they have more than half of the comps in Australia. We all know which state is doing the best with COVID now.

Where do you guys get your cubes? I usually get them from speedcube.com.au because I live close to the store but some of my friends either use DailyPuzzles or switch between speedcube.com.au and DailyPuzzles depending on what’s in stock.

Only cube I’ve bought since March is the QiYi clock, which I got from speedcube. I like being able to pick it up (10 minute ride), however with dailypuzzles, well, it’s based in SA.

Yeah. Any idea if DailyPuzzles have a warehouse where people living nearby can go and pick up cubes? That’s one of my favourite things about speedcube.

I hate to bring more bad news but unfortunately, Australian Nationals 2021 has been cancelled. Guess it goes to show how quickly a situation can change. Just months ago we had comps all over the place and now we only have 3 comps all in Perth. Oh well, let’s hope for the best next year.

Now I wish you could react multiple times to one message

From Speedcubing Australia's Instagram:

It is with incredible sadness, the Speedcubing Australia committee has made the difficult decision to cancel the 2021 Australian Nationals. The committee agreed that the ongoing uncertainty, operational constraints, challenges and risks means it is near impossible to hold a major speedcubing competition during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Who is in lockdown here, like me? I think, to encourage people stay safe in their homes and reduce stress, the government should on request send to everybody a Moyu AI Cube, the only condition is to log in everyday and solve for at least an hour. Yes, it is very good (except for the software), and as far as I know, this is something suitable for people from very young to very old.

I think most of us are all in lockdown unfortunately. But on the bright side that just means more time to cube and improve. I've bee considering getting the Weilong AI since it is a fair bit cheaper than other cubes and seems like it would suit my turning style best. Only issue with smart cubes at the moment is that most software seems to be pretty terrible to use.

On another topic, last year Speedcubing Australia organised an online comp for cubers in Australia due to lockdowns nation-wide. I think it would be really cool if they did this again so we could have a competition like experience at home.
