Moyu 15x15 Solve & ReviewCubeologist2018-06-11 | I really enjoyed this solve, if you have any questions that I didn't cover, just leave them in the comments! Thanks for watching.
Don't be alarmed everyone, I didn't actually burn the cube. I'm not above it, but I don't actually own this one.
The magnet system is really interesting, especially the magnet holder under the corners. I have scoured GAN's site for any mention of this magnetic system and found absolutely nothing. Maybe we will get verification from GAN in the future, but I am fairly sure this was an initial idea that was abandoned on the final version.
There are other explanations though and I'm not claiming to know what GAN are or were thinking. It could be for consistency, or part of some manufacturing process that I don't understand. Either way it is compelling.
This is a good puzzle. It isn't great, because it's still a skewb, but it is definitely good. And if you're into this event, you'll want to give this one a try.
I know I've been MIA for a while, and I'm not making any promises, but I'll try to make more videos. Thanks to everyone who still watches.

I did around 30 solves to get one ones you see in this video, so a sub-10 was unexpected to say the least. Also, I'm not making any promises, but I will try to upload more. Thanks for still being here!
Will update with pricing and availability when I know!

I thought I would film this one, fail, watch the video, and correct the angle for my eventual successful solve. But as it happened, I got a success on my 6th or 7th full attempt.
I am trying to get to sub-10 minutes by this weekend to compete at Quabbin. So wish me luck, I'm going to need it.
It is so fun to be learning something new again.
I used J-Perm's tutorial and a lot of help from my friends Rowe Hessler and Keenan Johnson at work.
So for the first solve. Apparently they had used the scrambles from the previous group for my group. Therefore, after I got the 9, called home, made an Instagram post, messaged like 5 people, I was informed that it didn't count and I had to redo the average.
Heartbreaking...
But at least I did improve my 12.84 PB to 11.88 the next day. So there is that very small silver lining. And I got to use the R3 U-perm!

I would like it to register cube rotations and M moves as a start. I know that the Kickstarter GoCube does absolute position, so it does register rotations, but I am unsure about M moves. But I will have a video on that when it is available.
Massive THANK YOU to TheCubicle.us for allowing me to bring this puzzle home and make this video. I will update this description with information on availability when I have it!

Solving this puzzle takes no more knowledge than solving a 7x7, it is just MUCH more tedious and time consuming. Hope you enjoyed it!
Big thanks to Dan for agreeing to do this video. He will have another race we did on his channel very soon. I didn't do as well that time haha. Thanks for watching though.

But still no last layer skips. So other than the 25 I am happy with this average. Only a bit over a second more than my pb ao5 at home!
I'm going to try and release a video every weekend from here on out. I know it isn't anything like my old schedule, but it's the best I can do currently.
Music: Artist: DjErhain Title: MistyWeiLong GTS V2: A First LookCubeologist2017-02-27 | I really do like this puzzle, not sure if it will be a main or not, but it definitely has potential.
And Chris used a new magnetizing technique on this which makes the magnets have more an effect when they are directly over each other. It gives the puzzle a springy feel that I really enjoy.
