The Limbo Walk

B-Bot likes to jump. R-Bot likes to do the limbo walk, even without a pole.

      Nice study of bot behavior on different block types ;)

      Good level.
      you could select another title , the limbo walk isn't very important in the level.

      Yes, but if you don't get R-Bot to walk that way he won't drop down. Have you ever seen R-Bot fall off a ledge on his own before?

      That's the new exploit being showcased here. ;)

      I can't solve it (yet) but I don't understand about the limbo walk...
      I can make R do it by walking across the rotating ball, but nothing special happens that leads to anyone being able to reach the target.

      R-Bot will usually fall off the metal horizontal cylinder when he's leaning back while walking. It works best if you corner him with B-Bot so he has the longest runway towards the cylinder.

      Ok - i get it now...
      The limbo walk is actually just a small step in reaching the goal - the idea isn't to *save* him from falling off the cylinder, but to *make* him fall off and into the pit! Then to use B to shepherd him up the stairs, past the vertical cylinders on his right, and then the target! Correct?
      ... At least, that's what i can repeat reliably

      Nice one - it took me a while to realise i wasn't at a dead end, but halfway to the target! Well done!
