B's Busiest Day

This is a repost - see first comment for details. Mainly a logic level with one trick once. A bot will need to miss B and fall but not a trick

      This is a repost as thanks to @ridgerunner for finding a fairly big shortcut. I changed one block to fix it.

      - herc push once
      There are two ways for B to do the Herc Push - the video will show you the most reliable way
      - maybe stairs side step as a recovery point
      This is the original video - the center corner block (stairs) in card above is the only difference

      That earlier shortcut was bigger than I imagined as i got a bit lost and had to go through an extra round of freezing/unfreezing to correct errors. Quite a challenge.

      @ridgerunner - Thanks for playing again. I'm happy I gave you a challenge :) and you can now see that I had to fix your shortcut.

      Excellent challenge!! this is my particular story with this level... in my first victory, with the original card, and even respecting the tricks to be used, I had a bad feeling because I had won with P but I sensed, from how each bot turns, that victory had to be for Z... but well, since my gameplay had been relatively complex and I hadn't cheated I was satisfied and was going to rate... but suddenly I read that @ridgerunner had found a shortcut and that you had made a second card. .. and I thought: "well, since I think I've almost decoded the gameplay, I won't have any problems completing this second version, which has also only been modified with one block"... Big, big mistake... suddenly my previous gameplay was worthless and I didn't know what to do!! a simple block changed and I was lost... d-a-m-n block... I had to reset my Meko-brain and fit the pieces one by one until I was able to find the intended solution that, in the end, was much more complicated and challenging than my first solution... therefore I am very happy and satisfied to be able to complete this excellent level...
      "Y colorín colorado, este cuento se ha acabado"- This phrase in Spanish is one of the typical phrases that were used, at least, when I was a child... surely there will be similar phrases in English...
      Thanks for sharing & for the fun @Meko Guy ;)

      @delator77 - Sorry for the change in cards but I'm very happy that you took on the challenge and you succeeded. Since I built this card and finished it back on 9 Dec, I'm thinking that I changed something in that corner and when I rebuilt it, I didn't add the path to keep B out. When I replayed the card, it played okay but I wasn't looking for shortcuts at that stage. Thanks for playing, commenting and rating.

      Best level ever played… how long did it take you to create such complex level? ;)

      @Casty - First - thanks for playing, commenting and rating.
      I completed this level back on 9 Dec so it isn't fresh in my mind. I would say about 6 to 8 hours was required to come up with the moves then join the moves into a working level. As I create each section, I test it thoroughly and as I join the sections, I test and look for possible shortcuts, issues, etc. Once the level is completed, then I do a video so I can refresh my memory later to see what my intended way was. I wait about a week and revisit the level - this is when I'll find a shortcut or an issue that didn't surface previously. I just checked my history of this level and I worked on it on 10 Dec, 14 Dec, 26 Dec and 30 Dec plus made the final video a few days ago so you can see a fair bit of time was devoted to this one level.

      @delator77 .. despite my shortcut win for first version being performed by the correct bot, the second version was still a challenge. If you are looking for another-i have also completed the second version again without pushing the high ball. It took a lot of tight timing and remembering to move the four block draggable and i gave up trying to make a video of it as it was so complex and easy to mess up.

      @ridgerunner I did it my friend :) you were right, even much more challenging than the intended solution :sneaky:
