Many of the prizes go to random entries not just the fastest people

Here's my first attempt, its a 21.624 (I'm bad lol) - I'll try to improve this over the coming days. (Just solve #3 for now)

 

[TechieHelper]

Also perhaps you could make a public google sheet so everyone can easily see the current standings (just an idea)?

Still waiting for my cube to arrive...

[Puzzlerr]

also how do you upload videos on here?

 

[TechieHelper]

The scrambles are all here, and you can upload youtube videos with the 'Media' button, then just paste the link in the box that appears.

Due to my phone falling 4929 times and the fact that I do not have an actual camera.... I will not be partaking in this competition. I thought I could have a shot but... No. I don't. Especially with that redneck setup.

First attempt for scramble 5, 24.584

 

[Cuberstache]

Probably gonna improve these but I want to submit something in case I don't have time later.

Only sub-Tymon on two solves. Also, ignore the background noise, sorry about that.

1. 4.635
2. 4.646
3. 4.982
4. 4.821
5. 4.359

 

[kubesolver]

I'm really glad to see so many quality submissions.

If I'm reading it right the current bests are:

Scramble 1: @zzoomer @ 4.59
Scramble 2: @TipsterTrickster @ 4.64
Scramble 3: TipsterTrickster @ 4.98
Scramble 4: TipsterTrickster @ 4.82
Scramble 5: TipsterTrickster @ 4.35

Scramble 4 definitely has potential to be sub 4.4; i had really choppy exec with many lockups.
This may be a bit of a stretch but i believe scramble 5 can be sub 4. I had really smooth execution so it's harder to optimize. Comes down to sheer turning speed.
