Competitive speed cubing with specially designed plastic cups involves rapidly stacking and unstacking the cups in specific sequences. The activity challenges participants to improve their dexterity, hand-eye coordination, and reaction time. One widely recognized sequence is the 3-6-3 stack, where three cups are stacked and unstacked, followed by six, then three again.
This pursuit fosters concentration and ambidexterity, and it provides a structured environment for individuals to develop and refine their motor skills. Its historical roots trace back to recreational cup games, evolving into a formalized competitive sport with established rules, organizations, and world records. The discipline offers opportunities for individuals of varying ages and skill levels to engage in physical and mental challenges.
