Should stickerless cubes be allowed in WCA competition?

[Kirjava]

Do you seriously want to use that in a competition? Whether it's legal or not.

yes

Am I the only one who thinks the orange and red are way too close ):

At first I was like "idk maybe I'd use it it could be cool"

Then I was like "oshi ya nowai"

 

[Carrot]

I want it to be legal =D just because it's cool =D

 

[hawkmp4]

I don't read the regulations much, so please, no ass-talking please :3

Would this color version of the GuHong effect these regulations?

3h) No modifications are allowed that enhance the basic concept of a puzzle. Some examples of enhancing the basic concept are: new moves are possible, normal moves are impossible, more pieces are visible, colours on the backside of the puzzle are visible, moves are done automatically, more or other solved states.

3j) Puzzles must be clean and must not have any markings, elevated pieces, damages, or other differences that distinguish one piece from a similar piece.

This could allow you to see corner or edge colors on the back side.

It looks so cool! I wish I had one. I think the fact you can do half a U turn and see the half colored edges.

But if you look at mefferts tiles, you can see the back side probably even easier than this one and that's legal

As a delegate, I would say "no" if someone asked me at a competition.

 

[Vincents]

Not as a delegate, but as a competition organizer I would say no to this. The 45 degree turn problem is really bad =.=

I would put it in the same category as transparent cubes. At full speed there might not be much of an advantage, but the possibility is there.

 

[Kirjava]

Regardless of if it is or not, I think it should be legal.

This is all we need to see. No, this isn't legal.

u can clearly see the back (blue) so this should be illegal

Shouldn't/Wouldn't loose cubes be illegal to, since more moves are possible (corner twist)?

I GO FOR THIS!!!

Now legalize this cube!! =D

EDIT: the danish delegate won't let me use my russian pyraminx due to slice turns O____O

I think with practicing on this cube, my speed would improve vastly.. lookahead is 90% of you having succesful f2l, and most likely blockbuilding method too. To be able to see the back color with a 45 or less degree turn is a lot easier than holding the cube at awkward angle, or even more worse to turn cube over to see back color, is definate advantage... not to say that you could be significantly fast because of this... sticker/tile is only acceptable and even they have regulation on that... it should stay strict so that we can keep speedcube consistant from player to player

 

[irontwig]

Huh? What do you mean, it's not like everybody uses the same cube.

irontwig, let's make a team and force it to be legal!!

I think that's pretty irrelevant.
Valid argument. However, I would doubt that anyone would use corner twisting to gain an advantage.

Yeah, but what's the point of having rules if they aren't being followed? Loose cubes and puzzles with thick tiles (having more pieces visible) break the WCA regulations but are still allowed.
