You missed something. The Rubik's impossible isn't supposed to be a speed cube at all. It's a novelty puzzle and turns quite well for a Rubik's brand puzzle in my opinion. If you want a $5 speedcube go ahead and get one. That's not what the Impossible is. Rubik's largely tailors to puzzle solvers, not speedcubers.
Remember that even cubes turning bad by todays standard need really high tolerances for their plastic injection moulding.
No. Makes you have cubing friends in order to compete in every event. Also, it will be very, possibly too noisy in comps
Team blind certainly is fun. How would they rank it though? Would the world record go to 2 people, and could someone on the world record team also be a member of the WR2 team? Is there a distinction between the solver and the speaker or would they change positions throughout the average? Definitely would be cool to be an event although there's a lot that needs to be thought about and changed in the ranking system so it probably shouldn't be an event.
Something like gear 3x3x5 would be really fun. Considering that gear 5x5 exists, we know that it is possible to have 5 layers in a gear cube.
Ooooo absolutely
3x3x5 might be possible in the sense that different tooth gears mesh if they have the same module.
There actually is an excuse. On a puzzle like this, you absolutely do not want to have pops or corner twists happening, making a difficult-to-solve puzzle into one that really is literally impossible to solve. The turning may be sub-par, but it's good enough.
No. It looks pretty slick though.
That's a good point, one I hadn't considered. But I still dont think it needs to be quite so appalling! It's way worse than the regular Rubik's, which doesn't come close to corner twisting.
Tiles will need magnets to be held in place.
Sounds like a good job for you then. Lol
