X-Cube 7

[Truncator]

Can these guys just stop raping the v-cubes company...

Who's raping v-cubes here? I'm pretty sure he said that this was not v-cube mechanism. V-cube mech can't even make cubic 7x7x7's.

I know a way that they can, basically it just involves extending the pieces, it's kind of hard to explain.

The layers aren't the same size, so it doesn't really count as fully cubic. You can do this with any NxNxN and as long as the outer layers are wide enough the whole thing can be made completely stable.

Again, I am not sure how to explain this, but it is similar to this but fully cubic.

So do you mean making it like tony's then shaving it until it is all the same shape?

That would destroy what Tony did, which was extending the pieces XD

Doesn't ammter, extending a Vcube to make it fully cubix DOES*NOT*WORK. It is impossible.

If you want a fully cubic 7x7x7 you have to find a trick, and I explain some ideas previously in this topic.

You can split the full corener into an internal part and an external part, « gluing » the two parts using magnet.

You can allow center pieces to be « mobile » so the cube deformation occurs when turning the face, but not when the cube is in a stable state. i have some difficulties to explain this one in english :/

You can also « railroad » the centerpiece with adjacent edges.

This is 3 ideas of mine, but I'm pretty sure some other solution exists. However, if this x-cube7 exists, this isn't the second or the third one. The first one could be used, but I'm not sure how legal it is according to WCA regulations.

That's the second time this video is posted and we are actually talking about an equal tlayers sized cube, so you're just showing something irrevelant.

You know fully cubic . . . like is the first video of this thread

Not really. Cubic means square on all sides, which that is. Also, all Tony did was EXTEND the edge and corner pieces to make it square. You are using the word extend wrong, and that was the point I was making.

You're wrong, Musli. By "fully cubic" we mean that the puzzle as well as all the pieces (at least as viewed from the outside) are cubical, and that's been explained before. It is impossible to do that with a traditional mechanism.

i hope I have a chance to put my hand on the x4

@deadalnix you definitely should stop posting! you are loosing everyones respect and your own credibility cant you just accept that it isnt fake and that xb29 has said it isnt fake i promise and there is your solve video so now you know its real. You may be an optimist but there is a time and place to just stop its just easier that way!

Uh... you realize you just replied to an 8 month old post?

With horrible grammar and punctuation.

Sorry for thinking by myself. I know it can be disturbing, but you'll probably learn how to do it too someday. Anyway, thank for the video, even if we cannot see much on it.

Will this guy do a redesign of the 6x6?

Why don't you send him a PM and ask?

Fascinating, I would like to see the interior of one of those.

Nice bump.

But I really want to see how this cube works. It one of the biggest mysteries in puzzle design.
