Kaizen is the japanese concept of continual improvement.
To continue to pursue the best version of ourselves that we can, and to ignore the status quo and continually improve and seek the best. This is my motivating force for innovation.
Cubing is my passion and my life. I LITERALLY do cubing stuff for a living.
I seek the best, and I spend ALL DAY thinking of how to improve cubing.
Before I started working at The Cubicle, I was a PhD. student researching how to cure antibiotic resistance.
Now I research CUBES.
I wanted to combine scientific research with speedcubing, I wanted to produce new and powerful cubes to push the boundaries of speedsolving.
Thanks to the platform, resources, and infinite generosity of The Cubicle, our combined efforts have produced crazy new creations. We have so much crazy stuff that I'm not at liberty to share, but keep posted because we're gonna blow your mind.
Our first public production is the first commercially available Magnetic 3x3 Speedcube.
The Weilong GTS M. It's on our website now!
You'll hear all about it on the site, but I'm going to share with you some tidbits about the extensive research we've put into it.
Making a magnetic 3x3 sounds simple, right?
Just toss some magnets in, and boom, you're done.
LOL NO.
I've spend the past month going through LITERALLY thousands of magnets, testing many many many combinations of shapes, sizes, grades, materials, coatings, adhesives, radii, arrangements and MORE of magnets.
There are radially symmetric arrangements, middle arrangements, and the radius of the magnet from the core actually has a huge effect on torque and you must take into account the pull force and gauss rating of the magnet. Too far, and it's too much feedback. Too close, and the degrees of rotation at which the feedback is affected. Magnets too strong? Cube isn't fun to turn. Magnets too weak? Pointless.
ALWAYS GOTTA CITE YOUR SOURCES FOR FORMULAS
Trust me, I've done the science and the experimentation.
I've done polling, extensive tests, and calculations on pull force and newtons to overcome the rotations. I've put in immense hours into this so that we can finally bring this to market. I've tested them in Gans Air, Shengshou FengYuan, Weilong GTS, Valk, TangLong, Yuxin Blue, GuanSu, and many more.
I've spent the past month researching and producing the first batch, and I can't wait for you all to try them. I also hope you like the logo that I designed!
The possibilities are huge, we've even got magnetic 4x4 cubes coming soon. The magnets allow a level of stability that's simply unattainable currently, and you can set the cubes loose and STILL have stability!
For an example, check out my sub-10 compilation, done with a magnetic Valk3!
Magnets are just the beginning.
We have so many more ideas just waiting to be produced in time.
Thank you for reading, and welcome to the new Cubicle Labs line of premium cubes!
