Rubik's Cube Test 1- Mechanics of Motion

@TestRunner so I figured that "stages " and "AG" and that i could use all the same rotators and or monopropellant with the different AG selected and unselected. Allowing a greater movement with lessor parts or commands. Still just an infant.

@SelectAKey any progress there on the changes Testrunner mentioned? I made a little but nothing with any programming of vizzy ect. I'm not experienced with that sort.

Damn, something screwy with my game suddenly and I'm having to reinstall losing all my work. I can at least transfer the files of my crafts but my subasemblies are lost. Whats the emoticon for waaaa? Like a baby.

as your name suggest, more test to be run. ;)
I had checked out what one looks like when its taken apart and even bought one to fiddle with for inside look at how you made yours. Say do these pieces go back on willingly, or did I just break them?

@TestRunner yeah, uh..okay. - in my best bill and Ted's imitation of Keanu Reeves.
I understand you perfectly and I did some researching on was it Erno Rubik I think. And the cube and how it moves along with puzzle solving techniques to get familiar with the task at hand.
ir: motion- I think a motor mounted to each center colour with freespin and then use of monopropellent might work. Just off top of my head. Gonna work out some more conceptual pics first. maybe just the corners or combinations of different mobilization for the three different pieces. Edges, Corners, & Centers. This may help to separate those motions.

@TestRunner wait, what? ir: -The centre colour nexuses already have a docking port connecting them to the side corner blocks. (+shape)
Wouldn't the shape be an X with corner blocks? Is there a way to program a sort of awareness when a dock moves within docking range to automatically dock?

@TestRunner could use monopropellant!

@SelectAKey we got this. Or at least a fair deal.

Perhaps the CCC could be attached as normal however removed by translation to another location outside of the cube and weighted down as to keep it (the cube) suspended and not physically in the way with tumbling ect. Not sure if that makes sense. I've been up for awhile now. Like 32 hrs. Lol

I manually straightened up the blocks to get the space between them. All is even and null on friction. Next was thinking of just getting one side to move independently of the others while keeping the CCC (central control chip) stabilized.

@TestRunner excellent info and please don't spare a word. Its hard to find intelligent life such as you two gents. I understand everything perfectly until the colours. Lol. Then I grab my pen and start to draw or doodle the visual concepts you speak of. Q) how do I upload just a picture to view it here? Like a screen shot? Do I need to get technical and do some file shuffling?

@SpaceChimp1 yeah its gonna take some tinkering but it certainly seems viable

@SelectAKey makes sense. And due note that although I can understand most of the lingo and direction we are taking, I am still new to this. I hope I can keep up and thank you. ;)

@TestRunner yessssssssss. were totally gonna crush this if we keep picking at it like this!

were going to have a problem with disconnect of corners that are perpendicular and the rotation of individual rings. i.e. corner x1,y1,z1 at position x-1,y-1,z-1 wont disconnect according to its position but instead only to its group. so im thinking we need a vizzy to determine which docking ports are at whichever side youve decided to turn using the AG's. and it undocks them according to position rather than the group they attached to.

first I made the perfect sphere,
Now this. Hahaha muahahahaha.
I will rule the world of basic shapes.
