RoBoTo - BaTaRo - RoFaTa - FoToRo

Delightful notation .

 

[Swordsman Kirby]

The Z-perm alg? Starts with "ROBOTO"

The left-handed algs give rise to lots of "LOLOLO"

 

[dChan]

Wow, awesome notation. Now all I can think of is calling it Robot notation because of Swordsman_Kirby.

 

[fanwuq]

This notation is great for Team BLD.

 

[toast]

This is awesome win. I love the notation.

 

[EmersonHerrmann]

I bet this is how Japanese cubers learned since blue is opposite white

 

[miniGOINGS]

how many colour variations are there?

 

[Swordsman Kirby]

how many colour variations are there?

With six colors there are 30 unique color schemes.

 

[Musturd]

2 common ones, though.
Japanese and white-opposite-yellow (I don't know what the second one is formally called)

 

[Ethan Rosen]

In all honesty, I think I would rather have learned how to solve a cube using this notation. It would make memorizing some Algs much easier because they don't just make random letter combinations that can't be read aloud.

 

[EmersonHerrmann]

2 common ones, though.
Japanese and white-opposite-yellow (I don't know what the second one is formally called)

Second one is formally called World Standard.

 

[dChan]

Woo, "World Standard." I have never heard of that before. That's actually a cool name for a color scheme, "I use the World Standard color scheme."

But, anyhow, in all seriousness, it is referred to as the BOY(blue, orange, and yellow all on one corner) color scheme.

 

[Bryan]

I've also heard it referred to as "BOY+Yellow", since opposite sides equal each other when yellow is added.

White + Yellow = Yellow
Red + Yellow = Orange
Blue + Yellow = Green

 

[dChan]

Oh, really? I have never heard of that either before. Thanks for the info!

 

[rjohnson_8ball]

I believe the Japanese color scheme also has Blue, Orange, Yellow at one corner but they go anti-clockwise, as in BYO. I notice that the "Plus Yellow" (World Cube) Standard has Red/White/Blue cycled clockwise on a corner while the Japanese scheme has White opposite Blue.

 

[Swordsman Kirby]

Oh, really? I have never heard of that either before. Thanks for the info!

From Petrus's page:

It is known as the "plus yellow" coloring, since green (blue + yellow) is opposite blue, orange (red + yellow) is opposite red, and yellow (you get it...) is opposite white.
Maybe someday I'll figure out how to make the coloring settable by the viewer, but for now this is how it is.

lol. my chem teacher was telling the rest of the class how to solve one because i had one and it was the day before the final so we were goofing off and he basically repeated this exactly.

 

[Thieflordz5]

LOL! AWESOME NOTATION!
I can imagine a speedcuber using this method and saying the algs out loud...
RoBoTo... Judje: "WTF?"
