back to rubik studio cubes :D
no FII, AV no ghost hands......
but seriously why not?
the rules are there to break them, there is already a new generation of cubers!
 
I'm sure If a jugde caught you corner twisting on purpose, he/she probably would DNF you right there.

He/she had better DNF you right there, as that's an illegal move.

.

One time, after doing the first look Alg of 2LOLL, a corner twisted itself. Do I HAVE to DNF something that wasn't my fault?

Of course it's DNF... if you can twist a corner like that, then you have added a new move to the cube, and that's illegal, so of course that's a DNF if you use that move in competitions, if it was intended or not :)
 
Now go make GuHong Legal :D

EDIT: I made a poll on the danish forum, among the two participants (me and someone else), atleast 50% told to legalize this cube :D see!! people want it to be legalised :P

Dont think so, since 'a corner twisted itself'.
But if you decide to do the headlight oll by twisting corners then......

I don't see the point of spamming this thread with "oh I like the cube, let's make it legal" because we all know what you think just by looking at ONE of your many replies.

I really like this cube, may even get one. But I don't think I will bring it to a competition just for the sake of starting a war on the forum.

An accidental corner twist on a loose cube would be considered a pop/puzzle defect. You would be allowed to fix it and finish your solve, but only by taking out an edge piece and fixing the corner from there (the way you would normally correct a cube after a pop). If you attempt to fix it by twisting the corner in place, then you get a DNF.

shellyyy...please say you are lying. Oh well. It's not like it happens to me every solve.
 
Although the colored cube breaks article

3d) Puzzles must either have coloured stickers, coloured tiles, textures or painted colours.

this seems to me to simply be an omission. People said it won't be allowed because of article

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.

But the Rubik's deluxe cube, which has fairly thick tiles on it and is still legal (AFAIK), makes it much easier to see the colors on the top row of the back face than this colored cube

I'm interested in the outcome of this debate as I'm thinking about trying the colored cube (please tell me there isn't already an answer to this and I've completely missed it)

They should make it legal.

There are other cubes, which have been mentioned in this topic, which bend the rules a little, yet they are still legal.
