Review on πŸ”₯ Enhanced Interactivity: Unleash Rubiks Connected Electronic's App-Enabled Features by Frank Rivera

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Finally learned how to solve many other lattice functions!

I've had several cubes over the past 30 years and have tried several printed guides with no success. Rubik Connected takes you step by step with a series of videos and tutorials and within hours my son and I were able to solve it without a cheat sheet. Within a few days, the main game can be solved within 2 minutes. I wanted to practice on the last level so I downloaded the Chao Timer iPhone app and you swipe up with two fingers and you can select the scrambled state. So you select the last level and it climbs up to this point, so you can practice without solving the first two levels to get there. Pro1. For beginners, he gives step-by-step videos, text instructions, and then shows you on the screen where you went wrong. Reliable pedagogical approach and good price.2. Creates scrambles and starts the timer with the movement of the dice and stops the time when it finishes3. A very good magnetic cube and better solvers can reach 4 seconds or less. You can see the times of the world record holders and the people from the Netflix documentary Alex Parks and Feliks Z have posted their times. So it seems like a very good cube if the pundits can get a time close to UTC. Con1. Instructions only go through the basic solution. No advanced module to teach 2 views of CFOP etc.2. Scramble doesn't let you choose up to which point. Does the whole fight every time.3. After solving verified YouTube videos like JPERM and its solution, it is different at the last level. It would be great if they worked with him or a similar YouTube star to suggest additional videos for you to approve over time. A CFOP training design idea that is incredibly intimidating to new dice enthusiasts. If you decide while the app is running it would be great to offer live training and suggestions. For example, you could use this approach here. Leverage crowdsourced data. For example, give 1000 people the same puzzle, write down how people solve it, and make that information available so people can learn new approaches. It would be interesting to see how the world champion fared, but it would be more rewarding to see how hundreds of regular users fared. Instructions. Please note that the step with the yellow cross contains an error. The video is correct, but when overtaking you turn L towards you, not away from you. If you omit this, FR,U,R',U'-R,U,R'U'-F' produces a yellow cross. The video is correct, but the step-by-step approach requires many additional steps. It's still solved, but not as efficiently. If you've always wanted to make up your mind but aren't thrilled by the idea of watching a bunch of videos, this cube guides you step-by-step in a robust approach. Much luck. It's a lot of fun to finally be able to make a decision!

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • I'll write back later
