Next V-cube?

[hawkmp4]

Impossible? Says who, and why?

I'm just skeptical. Also, many current cubes are already very nice. I can't think of any features to improve upon.

personal preference. if v3 comes out, some people will hate it some will love it. Its just like the Rubik's.com DIY.

 

[Cerberus]

it's just like all cubes I think...
I would like a V6b that I would get, also a V4 would be nice because for terms of time, I like doing that more than I would a V8

 

[StachuK1992]

I think that V3's will/should come out next...

Decent price to buy in bulk(I'm guessing 12 to start)
Main event-alot will be bought, so alot of profit will be made

3x3's have always just seemed the 'perfect' size..at least for me

 

[I_love_cubes]

probably a v6 and v7

 

[PCwizCube]

probably a v6 and v7

What do you mean by that? V6 and V7 already exist.

 

[Mike Hughey]

That's what I'm asking you. What is multi 11x11? Surely you don't mean BLD.

EDIT: Didn't see that you edited your original post.
You're insane.
Absolutely insane

dude, it says BLD, not just multi 11x11, because that would make no sense at all

Right. I missed that. Now I see you meant multiBLD, and that's why I say you're absolutely insane.

Sorry I took so long to see this and respond to it. But of course I must respond. I promise I will wait until I have a successful 11x11x11 single BLD solve before I start trying 11x11x11 multiBLD. But if they ever come out with an 11x11x11, and I ever get a successful 11x11x11 BLD solve, and I can afford to buy 2 11x11x11's, I promise I will try an 11x11x11 multiBLD at least once. That's a bunch of if's, though.

Does that make me insane?

 

[Rubixcubematt]

Does that make me insane?

you almost do 2 multiBLD on a 7x7, in my book's that makes you insanely cool. YOUR AWESOME

 

[waffle=ijm]

unpoppable 3x3...

this should show how unpoppable it could be...

Mike, if they ever release a V11 (however unlikely), I will gladly chip in to buy you a second one for multiBLD..

 

[Hadley4000]

I'd rather see the V-4.
I don't the the 6b will be as different as everyone thinks.


But, the black V-7 would be cool. It looks great. I got to solve Frank's. It's awesome.

Maybe Mike could be the one person insane enough to convince Mr Verdes to make two (or more ) V11 prototypes so that he could multiBLD them And I think this is very very likely to happen.

It's interesting how we're talking about revolutionizing the cubing world I wonder if the British cubers will have the Revolutionary Cube War with America

P.S. - Go Democracy!

P.S.S - There are only about 7 people on the entire planet even WILLING to multibld 2+ 11x11s *points at Rowe, Ryosuke, Mike, Tim, Dennis, Eric, and Chris*...and all of them would even be happy to <(o_O)> crazyass people (pardon the language)

P.S.S.S. - If you look at my avatar it says "What would you attempt if you knew you could not fail?" - I would do an 11x11 BLD in 3.58 seconds .01 memo

 

[blah]

2 V11s. Are we looking at 6 hours here? (maybe just 3 if you're Rowe or Ryosuke Mondo or Ville or Chris?)

Edit: I did a very crude estimation: 80 center pieces excluding the "unmovable" center pieces + 96 edges + 8 corners = a maximum of 596 cubies to memorize (assuming no fixed buffer). Now I'm assuming 10 seconds to memorize a cubie, including all the time used for memory reinforcement after the first run, is this a little too pessimistic? That's 596*2*10 = 11920 seconds = 3 hours 20 minutes for memorization alone. And by the unwritten law that memorization time roughly equals execution time, we're looking at 7 hours, together with recall delays. How's my estimation?

How's my estimation?

Let me see how I do with it. I need 5 rooms for a 7x7x7.

2 more sets of edges. That's 1 more room. 6 so far.
2 more sets each of + centers and X centers. That's 2 more rooms. Up to 8.
Now the bad part - 10 more sets of obliques. That's 5 more rooms.

13 rooms. That shouldn't take much more than an hour past a 2-cube 7x7x7 multi-BLD. For the first 11x11x11. So that's 4 hours or so. For a multi, I think I'm thinking more like 10 hours at best for me. Have I miscalculated somewhere?

Rafal Guzewicz has typically run half my time on most of these sorts of things, so maybe he could do it in 5 hours. I'm guessing he's as good as anybody in the world at this, and he's really pulled off a 5x5x5 multiBLD, if I recall correctly. So that's probably the best it'll get.

I'm hoping if I can get faster at 7x7x7 before then, it'll be a much more reasonable 8 hours or so for me.

 

[ShadenSmith]

I would be more than happy to watch for those 8 hours.

 

[ThePizzaGuy92]

I wont buy anything larger than 7x7x7, the only other V-cube i'd like to see is a 2x2x2. there really isn't a large competition for 2x2x2s, and i'm tired of ESs

i know this is off topic but i cannot stand it any longer.

i am guessing you have no idea what PS stands for. it stands for "Post Script." which means the thing that comes after your script(what youve written). so the thing that would come after your "post script" would be a "post post script" not "post script script". see where im going with this?

i wouldnt have said anything but youve done it in a few other threads, and i figured that if you were oging to make a habit out of it then you should be correct.

It stands for post skriptum
After all I would really like to see a 11x11 monster cube, it would just frighten some people to see it scrambled I think...

I don't the the 6b will be as different as everyone thinks.

It would I think, the 7x7 is very stable too in it's pillowed shape and the pieces can be locked in each other differently I think.
