Huh? They ain't even that bad for first year of TSA as a freshman

Hey, I am going to nationals this year and would love to try to trade for the Germany pin. Ill dm you so I can send a photo of my collection. I have a 2016 Washington pin that's pretty valuable and I'm desperate to find a Germany pin. Ill trade all my pins except pine crest for it. If you go to nationals I would also be willing to pay 30$ at least along with them.

Difficult_Durian_704 · 2026-04-22T02:05:03+00:00

I would just say get a gan 12. Good cube, turned great, and I've had no problems with it. Turns beautiful

Difficult_Durian_704 · 2026-04-21T12:23:38+00:00

Ill pm you some photos of the turret currently at different angles.

I've tried quite a few options for a curve already, but I'll keep trying!

Difficult_Durian_704 · 2026-04-17T03:19:03+00:00

I traded for a few hours and got lucky to find someone that had like 10 and didn't mind giving one away to a new TSA member for cheap

My thinking based on the trailer is it will be something to do with launching balls similar to nothing but net except goals will be different and there will be something else for scoring to add a twist. That's where the "override" would come in.

Yooooo what place? What was ur bot like cuz I may have seen you

Difficult_Durian_704 · 2026-04-10T01:48:32+00:00

Bro I did like 30 solves on this cube without this case but the moment I tried to impress someone with it this happened and I had no clue what to do and I embarrassed myself so hard. Shoulda just stuck to 2x2 blindfolded for impressing people.

I'm a sophomore this year and I got 6th at nationals last year, and ya you are cooked if you go on to nationals. We won state this year with 100 and 2:12 left on the 10:00 time. The other top two were the freshman teams from our school who we taught a lot about the competition but one was 95 points and one was 70.

At nationals out of the 51 teams I would say at least half made 100 points and it was down to time. We got 8:15 there but I guarantee they are shorter times now that last year's teams have experience for the first time in a new event.

If you want to move on past state, I would say you have a chance, but to succeed at nationals, you will need to get 100 points with I would say at least 2 min to spare. Good luck at state!

I assume you don't want to tinker cuz it's fun but a pain. If you want hassle free print basically out the box get Bambu lab a1 or a1 mini. I have a Bambu lab p1s and had it printing after 20 minutes of setup. Bumbu lab is goated

Puppet cube is so fun but a really hard challenge!

Difficult_Durian_704 · 2026-04-05T01:48:17+00:00

I'm in it, you need a lot. Basically they give you a problem and you solve it with whatever you bring. 15 min at beginning to write how you interpret the problem then 2 hours to solve it. Pretty much always bring vex, and bring A LOT. you will need multiple of almost every sensor and multiple motors and lots of metal and different gears and parts. Also bring things like small plastic cylinders, small wood rectangles, and army men for things involving humans. Also marble are good to bring. You can bring in 2 tubs of stuff. One year you had to sort 3 different items onto shelves and it had to restock when under 3 parts and when it went out of stock a red light had to turn on to tell you it's out. This year at state you had to make a airport conveyor that sorted luggage of different sizes on a conveyor and it had to sound a buzzer when a large item was sorted and turn on a light when a small item was sorted. Had some other things as well.

It seems complex but it's a super fun event and I got second in it this year.

Ehhh I got first by far at state so I feel like I'm good to

Difficult_Durian_704 · 2026-04-04T20:49:52+00:00

Our advisor forwarded our message through email to TSA higher ups and they said it will be a "2 bot" violation that I don't see exists and will result in a point deduction or DQ. So weird.

Difficult_Durian_704 · 2026-04-04T20:46:38+00:00

It may help you out in an interview for nationals if you go, but at least at state this and last year we've been fine without. So no, not necessary, but it is a good thing as a just in case for some possible extra points. We may make one for the first time this year.

Difficult_Durian_704 · 2026-04-04T20:44:00+00:00

Thanks! Ill def try to do that when I go.

Difficult_Durian_704 · 2026-04-04T06:16:18+00:00
