Hey YouTube it's me Spotty!
Welcome to another Weekly Cubing Topicals!
So I know this is kinda, old news but a question came up from tommyk_cubing which was pretty interesting.
He asked, What are your opinions on Rubik's collaborating with GANcube?
To be completely honest, the reason I hadn't talked about this before was that it wasn't
something I really knew much about.
But after looking into it, it actually seems very very interesting and I'm kinda curious
to see what will make out because of it.
So if you didn't know right around the end of last year, Erno Rubik's the inventor
of the Rubik's Cube posted this on Google Plus.
He says and I quote, "Speedcubing…brings together young people of different genders,
cultures or backgrounds — sometimes in life-changing ways."
But basically he said, he has started to take interest in the speedcubing side of the Rubik's
cube, something that he hadn't really done until very recently.
So he's taken in interest and in another post he makes a statement of what that has
sparked, the lauch of "a new non-profit organisation with the mission of promoting
speedsolving, support competitions, competitors and organizers as well as the introduction
of puzzles in education."
And this organisation he calls the RSA, standing for the Rubik Speedcubing Association.
So that's the deal with the RSA.
It's just an organisation that is attempting to get more awareness about speedcubing on
a global scale.
And this is kinda where GAN comes in.
To help with this awareness campaign, Rubik's wants to improve it's current puzzle that
is available all over retail stores.
Rubik's Brands have never had a great reputation among speedcubers for being a very good cube;
it doesn't perform very well, they're not customisable and really not worth at all
the money that you're paying for.
However, you can't really deny that it is almost always the first cube you get and it
is the cube that gets most people into speedcubing in the first place.
Rubik's has recognised both things and so he's teaming up with GAN, a reputable designer
to improve the traditional branded Rubiks Cube.
After this is announced a post by GAN reads, "We are really honored and excited to be
invited by Prof. Rubik to contribute to this great global initiative of making speedcubing
a true sport all over the world.
We will use our best design efforts to continue generating high-end speedcubes in the future,
under both GAN and the Rubik's brands respectively, to enable more speedsolving enthusiasts to
unleash their true speed."
I personally think this partnership is a huge step forward for speedcubing and I think this
could really be something that benefits growth in the community.
If all turns out well, then this could be really really awesome for us and people who
are thinking of getting into the hobby.
Hey, so I just wanted to quickly update you on something really really quickly.
So I was watching Keaton Ellis' livestream, his most recent one, and he was talking about
how he got this cube.
He won it at a competition and it was the cube that I was talking about in this video;
the one that was produced collaboratively by GAN and Rubik, released under the Rubiks
brand.
And I think that this is really exciting to see that this is already being produced.I
thought that maybe this project was a lot of hype and though but not too much action
or action that we wouldn't see for a while but it seems like they're really going through
with this.
It's very exciting to see developments like this happening so soon.
Keaton was talking about how the cube was very similar to I think a Gans 356 V2 (correct
me if I'm wrong though).
This isn't a cube that most people would probably say is the best cube out right now but it
is still a very good speedcube and a very viable speedcube.
Yeah, I just think this is super exciting that this cube might potentially be going
out across the world.
They'll be so easily accessible and I think that this'll really make it a lot easier for
newer cubers to get into speedcubing.
But yeah, that's the update, back to the video.
As for what I think about the RSA, I think again this could be a really cool idea.
As far as I'm concerned the WCA and RSA are working in harmony with each other.
Ron van Bruchem, I probably butchered the name so sorry about that, but he's one of
the founders of the WCA and he wrote that the "WCA is in good contact with RSA"
so I don't think there is any reason to believe otherwise.
And I do think that both organisations have their place in the community as in they both
have different purposes.
The WCA is more of a organisation that organises and keeps track of competitions and records
as well.
Whereas the RSA looks to be more of an organisation that supports what the WCA already does and
speedcubing in general and in addition will try raising awareness about the hobby.
But yeah, the full posts and everything I talked about in this video will be linked
below in the description.
Let me know if you have any other ideas to add on to this or if you agree or disagree
with my point of view.
Andd yeah, that's really about it.
Thank you guys for watching and I will catch you all soon!
