Advanced Cubeshape (Brandon Lin)

I took notes last night from Brandon Lin's Advanced CubeShape Tutorial

I remember being too lazy to watch all 15 minutes, so I took handwritten notes so I wont have to rewatch it. Yes, I am lazy.

I  broke this into 3 sections:

1. Cube Shape Names
2. Back to Cube "algs"
3. Scallop - Kite Method

The sections are in order in which Brandon taught them. Major props to him.

Shape Names: 

Square

Barrel

Shield

Pawn

Scallop

Muffin

Kite

Fist

Getting to the Square:

Barrel, barrel / kite / square

shield, square / similar fist / kite / square*

barrel, kite / similar fist / square

muffin, square / similar fist / square

muffin, muffin / barrel / square

Similar pawn / similar fist / square

• kick out adjacent edges

Opposite pawn / leaf, flower / scallop / barrel / kite / square

shield, kite / move U "L" back / shield, square case*

opposite fist / shield, kite

• track 2 "L" shapes to match to make KITE

kite, square / opposite fist / shield, kite / shield, square / fist / square

Scallop-Kite Method

The whole gist of this method is to get every cubeshape into scallop, kite. 

To solve scallop, kite:

Line up scallop and kite in middle. (Kite pointing towards you)

When you line up like so, do /(-1, -2)/ kite / square

Now you have similar fist. Solve-

Examples of scallop kite:

scallop, fist / 2 lines to D / scallop, kite

• take L and attach to scallop and make kite from line

scallop, muffin / line to D to form kite / scallop, kite

• take line to and form kite on D

scallop, pawn / find line and "translate" to D / scallop, kite

• see L on back D, make line, bring to D for kite

Hope this made sense. These notes are for me to understand. So if you're confused, just watch his video. Happy squaning!
