<P>In official competitions, people have to put their hands on a pad before and after solving the cube. That's what starts and stops the timer. The official timing device is the <A href="http://speedstacks.com/"><FONT color=#0000ff>Stackmat</FONT></A>. I had to find a similar tool in order to get used to it and compare my times to others' times.<BR><BR>If you've got an old flat USB game pad you don't use, building a BurgerMat is quite inexpensive (I bought a new one for 10 euros). Remove the screws and get its electronic guts, that's all you need. Install it between 2 slices of bread. You want the two buttons under your hands, so you'll have to prolongate buttons 5 and 6.<BR>

<P>Plug it to your computer, write a small piece of code, and you'll have a very nice and cheap device that automatically computes averages and more (download a Java prototype source <A href="http://grrroux.free.fr/workshop/burger.zip"><FONT color=#0000ff>here</FONT></A>). By the way, this pad is much more sensitive than the ones I tried at the French championships. You'll find a video showing it in action somewhere on this site.<BR><BR>
