This is a revision. Thanks to ridgerunner, gmacpro, and PvB for sharing the shortcuts they've found. It's quite complex, and I don't mean it that way.

      Make sure to set up all the draggables before nudging any ball.

      Though I have already rated the previous version I rate it again because ratings matter;)

      @laurence.gr - I won the same way as the previous version? Used pillarR and one ball.... I did it three times in a row so it's very repeatable.

      Don't think this was intended, as only B and PillR got to play with one ball ...
      1. Release PillR
      2. B gets on PillR at the stair
      3. Slide back the fence block
      4. Push PillR onto the brick with the sliding fence so he reverses direction
      5. Freeze PillR in his starting position
      6. Snap the assembly around quickly so B stands on the rail and can walk to the draggable
      7. Knock down the high ball
      8. Drop B down with autopilot and return to the opening stair
      9. Repeat 2
      10. Slide back the fence and B rides PillR to the win

      | @gmacpro, it seems that I didn't understand what shortcut you found in the previous version. Are you referring to @Don G Rowe's method?
    • laurence.gr
      | @Don G Rowe thank you for a detailed explanation, this is the shortcut I was looking for while making the 2nd version, but I can't see it. This explains the weakness of the level, so it's very helpful. :thumbsup:
    • laurence.gr
      | Okay, so this is the version where I fixed (hopefully) the shortcut:

      Let me know if the shortcut is still doable. Thanks.
    • Don G Rowe
      I think this column is making this version virtually unplayable ...

    • laurence.gr
      | @Don G Rowe, yes that's very true, that's why it's complex to play it. Without that column, bots exchange would be very easy. It's there for a reason, but not very reasonable as it makes the level more complex as it should be. I also made edits to it just now.
    • gmacpro
      @laurence.gr - Similar but my step 6 is different.
      As pillarR walks back to starting position with B mounted, rotate the rotor so the rail aligns with stairs, tap the stairs as B approaches and B ends up on the rail.

      | @gmacpro not again. Okay, I'm not going to push the level further. I have to start from scratch again.

      Reviewing unfinished levels I finally completed this one!. I tried to win with R but he didn't climb from R-Pillar to the win... :confused: so then I visualized a huge shortcut (no need of R and first ball). I win directly with B riding R-Pillar. :rolleyes:
      Thanks!

  • Autopilot:
    1: after nudging the first ball, B needs to go down. Rotate the motor (rail up). tap the draggable and quickly rotate it counterclockwise (90°)
    2: Getting B on top of R's head. This needs some timing. Tap the draggable right before when R steps on it. Move the down draggable quickly and B will get on R.
