Positioning

'Workbench' Overview chapter shows the 'Workbench' method's technique for placing a cubie already in the workbench.

this page takes a closer look at the same technique, extending it to the general case when cubies are not already inside the workbench but must be brought there.

Pratically, the same technique must be executed twice:

• the FIRST task brings the cubie OYG from the current position: rdb inside the 'workbench' at position: rdf.
• the SECOND task brings the cubie OYG from the position: rdf (inside the workbench) to its final correct position: lub.

Corners and edges share the same pattern, but they involve different cubies:

1.1)	E	Brings the cubie YG into the 'workbench' at position ref .
1.2)	R   U'	Moves the cubie YG from ref to rus (To avoid 'side effect from the next rotation)
1.3)	E'	undo the first rotation (Restoring the original configuration).
2.1)	M'	Brings the destination cubie from mub onto the 'workbench' at position muf
