Crazy brilliant design

it somwhat reminds me of the rubiks 5x5 structure

I kinda like it.

Not a big fan of the huge corners, but whatever.

me neither, but if you think about it this think would be like a basketball both in size and roundness

I viewed the link shown and I am amazed. Goes to show you can have a 7x7 or higher and still have a cubic shape. Unless I'm rich, I won't buy this cube as it would take me far too long to solve.

But a very good idea anyway. I'm sure some one would want to solve a real 17x17 cube.

Awesome all the way but honestly when can we expect to see the V8 and the V9.

Whawhawha? I still don't quite understand the mechanics of it, but the large edges and corners are interesting. I'd still rather an X4 though.

****ing oscar... what a nutcase

My quick calculation says 1538 pieces. V7 is 218. if this cube were made it would likely cost over 300 dollars if mass produced and be so heavy you wouldn't want to hold it for more than fifteen minutes. at that price and usefulness it will probably never get mass produced.

it's still fricken cool

It's because it's not pillowed. if you took a v7 and unpillowed it, it would look similar to a 17x17. The mechanics are similar to that of a V cube except that the pieces are sandwiched between each other vs all being sandwiched between two axes.
