ok I'm sad lol
never reached that speed before T_T
even with practice

has anyone gotten this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-8YOWnQvQA&feature=channel

O.O

How is that related to speedcubing in any way?

I am curious how fast one can go using the touch cube.

Not fast at all.....there's no way such touch technology can keep up with our much faster hands.For example, look at Nakajima's TPS O.O

True, it's not that fun anyway, very similar to playing a virtual cube, like playing 1 in Gabbasoft using computer.....

Playing with a real cube would be more better, well, that's what I think.....

playing BIG cubes are only fun on gabbasoft if you can't afford it

anyway,nothing beats the real thing

Feliks Zemdegs set the new world record average of 5 : 8.52 sec @@!!

This guy is sure amazing,i'm waiting for him to beat Erik's single solve record



p/s: Much slower now, around 33 seconds.Damn,went for a 2 week overseas trip, come back jadi like this Struggling to get below 30sec also

kytz & the rest,

what are you guys using to lube your cubes ? i've used the crc silicone but that's not exactly liquid based lube.

i'm thinking of looking for the shock oil which should be available at our RC shops here

I used a different silicone... not crc
it dries rock hard and leaves a coat of silky smooth layer

oil isn't good for cubes as they may leak and ruin your stickers and grip...
go for the dry thing... not wet ones

@joel,

which "brand" of silicone did you use, and was it also a spray ?

I'm looking for something that's like what you get on new pre-assembled cubes... that thin layer of gel/liquid , and not the oil that would leak around

I know for lubing foosball rods we also use silicone lubricants, liquid based ones and that doesn't dry up like the sprays. Just not too sure if it'll not eat into the plastic

i'm just on a quest to find good lube

if you can find jig a loo then you are lucky
but the one I use is..... I have no idea what brand is it
it's some chinese writing on it...

I also use another type of silicone
I think you can find it at Tesco...
It's in a blue can
TefTech I think... not sure
sorry for the lame info... I seriously dunno what brand is that

Using CRC silicone spray,Heavy Duty.Seems to work well.

_skeevs is using it now but he don't like it as he say it's liquid based lube
maybe he meant the oily feel

I just picked this shock/silicone oil from an RC hobby shop @ Atria, for only RM20. It's the "300", which is slightly lower than the 30wt.

Will try with just a few small drops first

Added on July 27, 2010, 1:04 pmShock oil is crap. You can feel the friction between the liquid even tho it's just a tiny bit. Dont bother!

Guess best is still disassembling cube & spraying silicone on it!

hey guys,
started playing rubik's cube since i'm form 1 stopped at form 2.
fastest i can solve was less than 50 sec with F2L (first 2 layer , fredrich method (first part of fastest way to solve a cube)) apply.
to have a smooth cube, u need to disassemble the cube and apply silicon spray on the cross each side. try not to put too much coz it might make your cube too smooth. which is not good.
patience and dont rush at first, once you are familiar with the algorithms , it should be pretty easy.

guys, i want to ask something
why are rubic cubes so expensive huh?
the more complex the more expensive
even for fake one

yep... the more complex the more expensive due to the assembly fees

and rubiks cube is stupid although they are original... overpriced

some china cubes are better than rubik's and cheaper too
