CLASSIC PUZZLE-SOLVING GAMEPLAY
This Rubix Speedcube has an improved mechanism for faster, smoother play. It’s also pre-lubricated, allowing for ultra-fast algorithm execution with minimal friction between layers.
It comes with a smart mode that functions (almost) like it would in a real cubing competition. It offers an algorithm, a timer and the option to pit you against other cubers in the expert bracket.
Features
If you’ve ever watched a Rubik’s Cube competition, you might have wondered how these puzzle masters are able to solve a cube so fast. Although it looks like they’re just flipping the cubes around, they have a well-established strategy that they follow.
There are a few factors that determine how good a speed cube is. The most important one is the internal mechanism, which allows for better corner cutting and smooth turning. Also, the cube must be lubricated properly. There are a variety of lubes on the market, but you should always use one that is made for speed cubing. This way, the internal parts are not rubbing against each other, which causes friction and slows down the turning. The best lubes are silicone-based.
Design
When it comes to choosing the best speed cube, you need to take several factors into consideration. These include the shape, size, and materials of the cube, its weight, the way it turns, and whether it has a magnet. Some of the best speed cubes feature rounded corners and a stickerless design. They are also built with a magnetic cube mechanism for faster action.
Erno Rubik, a Hungarian architect, designed the first cube in 1974 as a puzzle for his students. It took them about a month to figure out how to solve it, but once they did, it became a global phenomenon and has over 43 quintillion combinations. After his success, he went on to develop other types of three-dimensional puzzles. He was even able to patent his designs.
Materials
Rubik’s Cube is an iconic puzzle that can be found in most toy stores around the world. It can even be purchased in a blind version with colored stickers that allow the blind to play. However, many people are unaware of the small parts and processes that go into making this popular toy. These include the molding of the cube structure and creation of its colored stickers. Additionally, a variety of lubrications are used to improve the speed of the cube.
The main material in a Rubik’s Cube is ABS plastic. This type of plastic is a thermoplastic, meaning it softens when heated and hardens again when cooled. The cube also uses polypropylene stickers, which are glued to each side of the cube. These are inspected on the production line to ensure that they meet size and color specifications.
Appearance
The best speed cubes have shiny colors that are easy to see and differentiate. They also have contrasting edges. This makes them easier to solve and prevents mistakes caused by catching the wrong color shade. Speedcubers usually stick to a set of colors and try to solve them fast with those.
There are many versions of the Rubik’s cube, from 2×2 to 11×11. There are even shapes like the Megaminx. These have different algorithms but work on the same mechanism as the classic 3x3x3. There are also thousands of mods created by enthusiasts.
It’s important to lube your cube before you use it. This is because the internal parts are rubbing against each other. There are several types of lubes available, and it’s up to you to decide which one is right for you.
Price
If you are looking for a smart cube that can help you time your solves and improve your performance, then the Go Cube is the perfect choice. This cube has bluetooth sensors and motion sensing to track your progress. It also has a built-in cubing app to compete online with other cubers.
This is a great cube for intermediate and advanced solvers who want to challenge themselves. It comes with a new inner mechanism and core that are designed to make it faster, smoother and more reliable than ever before. It also has an improved outer layer design to prevent pops and twists.
The cube is pre-lubricated to help you get the fastest times possible. It is also easy to add more lubricant when needed.
