Is the Dr.M just an upgrade of the Mr. M?

When the Mr. M was first released, Steven Wintringham spent a lot of time figuring out how to make it a viable pyra for fast solvers. A lot of them come with plastic defects or, believe it or not, incorrect color schemes. He eventually got a setup he liked and sold a bunch of customized puzzles to people, including John Gaynor who used one to win Nats 2019. Now that Steven works for the Cubicle, he's brought the customization to them and improved on it.

One of the 5 new premium MGC square-1’s, it’s unfortunate that the only missing version is a celeritas one but I’m hoping they come out with one soon. I’ll probably pick one up in the next few days anyway

I thought that looked like a Minecraft command block at first somehow.

About the WRM 2021, I have no idea what they are going to add to make it unique. The cubing manufacturing and innovation has gone so far, that there is nothing to add.

That's what everybody else thought until Chris Tran started cubicle labs, all we need is another guy like him to push something over the edge and make all of us think, "why didn't I think of that".

They can make a bluetooth cube and provide a stand that allows it to turn freely. The base of the stand has a camera that can read the Scramble off your screen (L' B U2 F' R2 ...) using OCR, or alternatively get the scramble from an online timer site, and then automatically scramble the cube, turning it on the stand. The top of the stand has a grip and it is designed like that of a mobile phone gimbal, so that it can turn, rotate, gyrate, tilt, up, down,.. and move completely freely as it scramble or solve, unlike the Gan robot. The stand has a processor to directly interface with the PC and provide or receive data or send performance data for storage to and from the timer site. In tutorial mode, the cube will freeze up and only allow you to turn the correct layer and in the right direction. .
.

If that's too hard, OK, how about something like this. They can use a Yellow colour that is rich in yellow and not so light and greenish that it cannot be distinguished from White in warm household light or in dimmer environments. That would be a world first.

Chris Tran was working on something like this back when he still worked for TC. Here is a seminar on it that was given at Nats 2018 in Salt Lake City.

It's still probably a few years away from being finished but its still extremely cool!

I've heard this cry from many colorblind cubers and it's pretty ridiculous that this hasn't been addressed. Almost one in ten males are colorblind, so if a company decided to make some special caps to sell with the puzzle to help those who are colorblind they would certainly make a profit. Even putting that aside making stickerless puzzles more accessible is always a good thing

I agree. I use a custom color scheme because the standard scheme is objectively bad for the purposes of speedsolving. Cube companies should include a set of black pieces in the box with stickerless cubes like the MGC Squan did.

 

[Dan the Beginner]

My eyesight is actually fine, but I prefer my house cozy with warm lighting, and not like an office or hospital. I now have a desk lamp with white bulb, but I'm very surpised that this basic need is not addressed. The suggestion of factory provided stickers inside the box is a good idea, since they are so cheap, at a tiny fraction of the cost of the cube and they would fit the cube perfectly. Much better than yet another screw driver, cube bag, wipe, cube stand ....

 

[Kaiju_cube]

I'm very curious if the new WRM 2021 will be hard and clacky like a Qiyi, or soft and smooth like a Gan (or the new Tornado V2)

I'll probably end up ordering one out of curiousity but I'm hoping to see more reviews soon.

Why don't companies make stickered cube anymore? Is it just to do with more people buying stickerless?

The lower price signals to me that they are probably going to release something like a WRM 2021 Pro with some slight variation like the rumored maglev tension system, or something like that to charge at their higher tier price, while also offering a good base cube a lower price to compete in more price brackets.

 

[Dan the Beginner]

Maybe the lower price has something to do with this.

The Tornado is setting a trend I hope for reasonable value in cubes.

It kind of sounded like a Tengyun / Tengyun v2 / Zhanchi Pro from the reviews that I’ve seen. I’m not sure if that’s how it feels too?

I havent got any DaYan flagships (not for another couple of weeks) so I cant say if it does.
I'll have to lube it and set it up and I'll probably write a mini written description soon.

Yeah, there's pretty much no demand for stickered flagships. Unless you get something like Gan releasing a stickered one months after the fact as they did with the 356X.

 

[Kaiju_cube]

I prefer stickered, but they always seem to release them after I already bought the stickerless version (looking at you Gan 11, you sonuva---)

The Tornado is setting a trend I hope for reasonable value in cubes.

such a fantastic cube at a fantastic price.

I really think Qiyi and DaYan have steered me away from Gan and their crazy prices. I still love my 356 cubes but there's a bunch of Qiyi and DaYan cubes I like just as much.

Then there's the Tornado v2 which blew me away. Great Cube.
