The reconstruction thread

I got a challenge for you, Brest.

Hope you don't mind I copied your layout, Brest. :p
Not at all! Just like a good alg, if you like it --> use it!
Nice solve and recon too. :tu

Could someone check my own reconstruction of my own solve? This was my first reconstruction too. o.o I'm not sure of some rotations and such.
Looks good! :tu Although I would use: y x' // inspection.

Where can I get something like Cube Explorer, but for 4x4?

EDIT : For reconstruction purposes, of course.
I don't think such a program exists.

Could someone please reconstruct the 9.84 single from:


Sorry, I don't have the scramble. I am interested because I remember that on this single/average, I didn't just do straight CFOP, I think it might have been FreeFOP or something.

I asked if someone could reconstuct this for me in OQAT, sorry I don't have a scramble. Thanks in advance for the reconstuction it's much appriciated =].


Sorry that there is no scramble it was a request for a friend of mine. Also thanks for the reconstruction in advance =], it is much appreciated.

Does anyone have a single solve (preferably a slow-turning one) that they could post? I want to start reconstructing, but I obviously have to start with an easier one :p
 
Try these

Here's some more. Today's my first day recording solves at all, I used to try to use my laptop webcam, but could never get a suitable angle. Here I'm using 2 4x4s, a 3x3x4 and 2 3x3s stacked on top of a Gamecube (oh yea, like a boss) as a tripod of sorts for my iPhone. Yea

There's no point breaking down those solves, you weren't necessarily trying to solve as fast as possible, like in a true speed solve. Just record some regular solves, SAVE THE SCRAMBLES AND MAKE SURE YOU SCRAMBLE CORRECTLY, then we'll do em. I say this and I wouldn't be at all surprised if Brest ninja's me with complete breakdowns in multiple turn metrics lol. Brest = 2gud

Ok could you please reconstruct my current PB? Thanks!

That was my first ever reconstruction from video, how'd I do?

Nice, looks successful.
 
Oh yea, ETM lol. Yeah, I mean I know the solve itself is accurate, I more concerned about a couple of rotations and whether or not to count some U2s as one or 2 moves ETM. Didn't take near as long as I thought, the scramble is accurate, which helps a ton. I used frame by frame on windows media player lol, made it super easy.

Don't want to bother slowing it down in some program, but from just watching it a few times and looking at the reconstruction, it looks pretty accurate.

Could you please tell me what ETM and HTM are? Also what are those numbers after the step for? Thanks though
 
[wiki]ETM[/wiki]
[wiki]HTM[/wiki]

The numbers are the number of moves, so cross was 5 moves, then the f2l pair was 12, so (12, 17) means 12 moves for that step, up to 17 total at that time.
 
Can someone please reconstruct my 35.59? I don't have the scramble (if I did, I would do it myself) so it might be difficult...
