I could see someone designing a cube with some sensor that shoots a parachute out of one of the center caps if it moves too quickly.

That'd be pretty awesome.

Velocity initiated mechanical automated pneumatic Rubik's cube rapidity dampener mechanism.

Or VIMAPRCRDM for short.

Both my storeboughts have had center caps come off their frames, after maybe 5 drops maximum. I think it's because I've been using Pestvic's frame loosening technique to help cut corners. I don't dare drop them anymore.

Doesn't seem to do much to a store bought....but if the core breaks, try applying a harsh cleaning chemical that softens the plastic temporarily to rebond it instead of super glue. I find that this actually works for better for this type of plastic.

could you name a few (preferrably household) items?

Yar, can someone name a couple? Superglue has never kept the center piece on the frame for longer than a month. I always do a bad job with gluing the piece back on, causing that side to turn like a non-lubed cube, even with the lube.

You do not want to drop a tuned speedcube, if the cube fall on a corner a center screw might bend a little . Making an unbalance in your cube

You can test if your core is straight , disassemble and hold each pair in between your finger and turn. Should feel smooth, if a screw is bend you will notice it this way

also, my sisters storebought dropped and the centre broke....

One of my storeboughts broke... The core broke in half = o It was like 2 years old though, my first cube ever. I'm sad it broke

My friend dropped a storebought and it completely exploded! He did drop it on pavement though.
