Sydney Autumn 2012

[megaminxwin]

Honestly dude, just bring your main cubes. From experience, my first comp I pretty much brought my whole cube box with me, and it is useless and heavy. Unless you don't have trouble bringing that whole list of cubes, I suggest you bring your mains only and some other cubes

Noted. I don't tend to have much trouble bringing heaps of cubes though, they all tend to fit nicely into your average schoolbag. But we'll see.

 

[aznboii124]

um... i'll list em down later lol

Alright.

Ill be bringing:

Ghosthand 2x2
Dayan Guhong 3x3
Dayan+mf8 4x4
and
YJ 5x5

 

[megaminxwin]

Mmm. Ghosthand 2x2. I've been wanting to try that out, actually, especially considering my 2x2 is essentially a combination of the corners of an Eastsheen with the core of a V-Cube 2b. (i wanted something really nice and decent that was competition legal, but i don't think it worked out, considering it locks up a lot, and you can actually touch the core without moving any of the pieces, there's that big a gap between them. it's... strange.)

 

[aznboii124]

I have like 2010 generation of cubes looool. I stopped cubing for like a year. I have a lot of spare cubes that are brand new still in box including a ghosthand 2x2

 

[megaminxwin]

Same here. Don't ask why. Except all of my cubes are out and in bad shape WELL LOVED.

 

[ottozing]

might aswell list the cubes ill be bringing aswell

2x Wittwo 2x2 (one is a regular wittwo lubed with shock oil and lubix, the other one is just a lubix ultimate wittwo)

1x Dayan zhanchi (modded into a zhanchi silk and lubed with lubix. feels godly)

1x Dayan guhong (modded with 48 point edge mod along with just sanding off tiny sharp bits on the corners. lubed with lubix and feels godly)

2x Dayan guhong v2 (1 was lubed with lubix, the other was lubed with shock oil. no mods)

2x Shenshou 4x4 (both were lubed with lubix, one of them has had the internal peices sanded along with the corners)

1x Shenshou 5x5 (lubed with lubix and has been modded with part of the florian mod)

EDIT: decided to bring MOAR CUBES :3

1x Dayan guhong made out of 6 stickerless guhongs (lubed with lubix and shock oil/has had the 48 point edge mod done to it. feels godly)

1x Shenshou 6x6 (lubed with lubix. feels better than most 6x6s ive tried but not quite godly [yet])

 

[megaminxwin]

That reminds me, I really need to lube my Guhong... damn it, no lubix. *rushes to hardware store for silicon spray*

[megaminxwin]

Hey, there's nothing else around here! If you're kind enough to bring some lubix, I would be VERY GRATEFUL. But in the meantime I really have no idea what else to use.

 

[ottozing]

[megaminxwin]

Ottozing - AWESOME THANK YOU

Kirt - Hmm. 4 cubes in one? (don't tell me asdfskbsrbo)

Time to narrow my list down TREMENDOUSLY.

 

[ottozing]

@kirt im definately interested in checking out some of your cubes aswell (mainly the x-cube ).

EDIT:

i would reccomend taking two of each cube that you will be competiong with (ie 2 3x3s, 4x4s, ect) so you can warm up before solves. anything else is just optional.

i wish i took more than 1 cube for each event because when it was time to compete, i was very shaky (which is espcecially bad when your doing one handed XD)

I don't know its name but my mom and sis got it from hknowstore when they went hong kong lol
My first time doing a serious solve attempt was so long lolololol

Mhmm, sounds great!

 

[Daryl]

Hmm..

@Tim,

[kirtpro]

It's a shame I don't have two 2x2s/two 4x4s. That would be handy, but oh well.

And yeah, I know what it's like. (Melbourne Summer Open 2010 competitor! AW YEAH)

 

[ottozing]

Hmm..

ill probably be there at 10-10.30 (depending on good ol' sydney traffic -_-)

well if you dont have two of each cube like i said, you could just warm up on any cube really. you dont NEED to warm up on a 2x2 if your doing 2x2, you just need to keep your hands warmed up.

 

[megaminxwin]

When am I coming? I honestly have no idea. Probably on time, though. Around 10:30-ish? Yeah, about that.

well if you dont have two of each cube like i said, you could just warm up on any cube really. you dont NEED to warm up on a 2x2 if your doing 2x2, you just need to keep your hands warmed up.

This is why I like the Rubik's Magic. It works SO WELL oh my god

 

[Damien Porter]

Would any body be interested in seeing a robot that can cube?

If a few say yes I'll bring mine along.
