The reconstruction thread

Darn, I could've seen that, need to look rather than just follow instructions blindly. But I'm so used to first line meaning scramble, and the different spacing obscured it.

Did you come up with calling the sides LRUD yourself or did you take that from the David/Mike? (I think I see the same on the smartphone screen)

Btw, the video is a bit hard to find, I searched youtube for "cube stormer ii" and didn't find it, need to write cubestormer as one word (perhaps add "stormer" to the tags?).
 
Yeah, I took that from the CS II video and used the same from the others, but I don't think I'd've used FRLB anyway since the first robot solves in the 'correct' orientation for that notation.

I can explain the notation...

CubeStormer (I) was vertically mounted so the grips are obviously in UDLR positions and Mike named the horizontal and vertical axes X and Y with rotation directions that naturally matched the motor rotations for L and D I believe.

Mike continued to use the same notation for CubeStormer II, mainly to avoid any confusion that might occur for us if it were different from CS I. Imagine you are looking straight down onto CubeStormer II from above where the smartphone is and you are looking at "F" with the "D" grip underneath the phone.
 
I wonder if it might be possible to save some time by doing double-layer turns? The mechanism may not allow this but it's an interesting idea.
LD'R2UD2L' y' RLU'y' RDy' R2DLU'y' L'Uy' R'D2LD2
= LD'R2UD2L' y' RL(d'U2')R(D2u')R2DL(d'U2')L'dR'D2LD2

That's a very cool idea!

As you suspect, CubeStormer II mechanics can only grip the outer layers so either the middle slice has to be held while the others are turned or released and allowed to follow the others when the the cube is tilted. I don't think CubeStormer II could currently do this.

What do you think Mike?

That last post was awesome, I hope everyone saw it.

I think it would be cool if the new OH WR Avg5 was reconstructed:

I might have done some of the scrambles wrong so...
sorry if it'll be harder.

I got a forced OLL skip (R U2 R') that turned into a PLL skip, and I would like to find the solution. There's no video, so it will be much harder, but I'd be really thankful if someone found the solution. It wasn't a particularly good time, I would just like to see how I solved it. It's possible that I scrambled wrong and still had the same or similar cross, or that I just took the wrong scramble from qqtimer. I don't know, but I'm 80% sure that this is the right scramble. Here it is and what I think the cross was:

D2 U' L2 R2 B' D' F2 B' D2 F' B D2 R D' B2 L R' F L2 F2 D L' R2 B' D2

y B' U' D R' F L' or y B' D L' U' R' F

Again, I know it would be hard to reconstruct without a video, but I like having my LL skips reconstructed. Thanks to anyone who tries. :)

That doesn't seem to be it, but thanks for the effort! I find it really strange that you found a completely different LL skip using the same cross. :p

Basically the same. Your 3rd pair and my 4th pair are an edge cycle, so the other pieces are unchanged. Yours is an AUF better in turn count! =)
