Ota Mota's Progression Thread // Road to Sub-3.5 Ao1000 for ZBLL Recog+Exec

I'm guessing this is still my cube, the piece that's connected is still there its just harder to see from the outside, its more visible when you take it apart.

I took it apart though, there was no core piece. I will show you a pic of it when I have a chance I guess.

Let’s go, finally sub-30 for 3x3.

With the help of an animated cuber, the 2x2 is fixed. There remains no core piece, but if you assemble the 2x2 correctly, misaligned middle slice does not happen. Apparently, the 2x2 edges have these ridges on one side and it’s smooth on the other. You have to take this into consideration when assembling, when you have the last corner, make sure the edges it touches are all smooth on the outside, so it fits. (I love having to consider EO when assembling a 2x2 )

Other news, pb ao100 with 3.31 I guess.

Consecutive sub-20!

I got my first timed 4d Cube solve. It was a 1:37:56, but it could easily be faster, as I had to eat dinner, use the bathroom, etc. I was also doing some dumb stuff during the beginning of the solve.

 

[OtaMota]

In OH, I got a 47 second solve, which is pb by 9 seconds. A few solves later, I got a consecutive 48 and 55, both would be PBs had I got them before the 47.
