Enter the Octagon Part 3a: 4x4 Trajber's Octahedron Tutorial Part 1

Описание

We exit the octagon with the first part of the 4x4 Trajber's octahedron tutorial. I'm handling this the same way as all 4x4 mods, just like the rhombic dodecahedron and the megamorphix, but with an added twist of having different colored pieces in each center!
Although the algorithm's are the same, the strategy and set up are skewed a little bit to adapt to this.
In this first part we "lock in" the centers in the proper configuration. To this end, regarding the last center, we discuss using the corners to guide us as to the proper positioning of the last center, and not the other centers, as the corners can not be exchanged out of their sides once locked in by the centers, but the centers CAN be exchanged out of their sides once locked in by the corners. This is an important concept in the 4x4 supercube mods, as it helps prevent a corner parity with the last layer.
3 cycle algorithm for the last two center: UR to FL to to FR
R(middle) Ui L(middle)i U R(middle)i Ui L(middle) U
Once done, this sets you up for a smooth ride with part 2.
