F2B to F2L

[wiki]F2B[/wiki] to [wiki]F2L[/wiki], BTL, Blocks to layers.

If you are using [wiki]Roux[/wiki] and like to try [wiki]ELL[/wiki] for the last part you need some method to compleate F2L. Of course you can just twist and turn, it is easy and intuitive but why not have a method?

I figured I need to fresh up my ELLs a bit so I constructed this for my columns method (after I compleated F2B by solving R/L centres and RD/LD edges).

1. Orient either FD or BD to either FD or BD having the D colour at the F/B side.
2. Orient the other FD/BD edge in the U layer so the D sticker is on the side of the last layer and move it to the same side as the first piece is forming a pair.
3. Move the two to U using M or M', do U/U' and and M/M'/M2 to place the D center in the middle forming a 1x1x3 bar that then is palced using U/U' M2.

Examples:

Roux Scramble #48: M' U2 M2 U2 M2 U' M2 U' M' U' M2 U' M U2 M U2

1. U M'
2. U'
3. M' U2 M2 [U2]

Roux Scramble #49: M' U' M2 U2 M' U M U' M' U M2 U' M' U' M' U'

1. U M'
2. U2
3. M [U2]

lol, I'm using the scrambles I get... another:

Even worse: Roux Scramble #50: M U M2 U' M2 U M2 U2 M2 U2 M U2 M2 U' M U

U' M' [U2]

One more : Roux Scramble #51: M2 U M' U2 M U' M' U2 M' U' M U2 M' U' M2 U2

1. U2 M
2. U2
3. M U M2 U' M2 [U2]

Well, at last I got one that did not skip the last sub step, solve the centres. :rolleyes:
