Crane Operator

B is building a level with R. The crane operator was fired because he dropped a barrel on R’s head! You are B’s new crane operator. Can you help him get to the skid steer? Remember, safety first.

      Not all ball paths are obvious
      Use the crane 3 times

      Much thanks to those who tested especially @vince and @Block builder for troubleshooting and suggestions.

      Difficult level as some of the balls have unusual paths. Especially the top one is nerve-wracking. But in the end it all worked smoothly, and it's satisfying to finish.

      Great design and clever steps! Not easy, but the hints should be helpful. Especially for the top ball ;)

      I loved the use of the crane and the trial and error approch to where the ball is going to go. Kindly you only gave one intervention option for the most unexpected ball fall. Winblock digger looked great. I didnt use pbot for the final ball release but used B and used the crane yet again. Great stuff.
    • Darren Schrag
      @ridgerunner how did you use B for that last ball? Did you use the crane to get him up onto the ridge where he can’t naturally go? And then use it to get him off again?
    • ridgerunner
      @Darren Schrag ..used crane up and down; well you did encourage us and i had lost count!
    • Darren Schrag
      @ridgerunner :D I like the way you think. I didn’t see that option but I it sounds very appropriate :thumbsup:. As B’s most resourceful crane operator, you may just get promoted ;)

      My solution didn't match your video, but a very fun time in the spectacular setting was had none the less.
    • Darren Schrag
      @Don G Rowe Glad you had fun :). Did your solution match @ridgerunner’s :rolleyes:?
    • Don G Rowe
      No. I did not use the top ball at all. After dropping PillR down from the crane bucket, B dropped down via autopilot.
    • Darren Schrag
      @Don G Rowe interesting. I tried to make that a vain option. I did several autopilots and made edits so they would not succeed as a shortcut. Must have missed something. Thanks for rating generously anyway.
    • Don G Rowe
      Stand B on the motor on the crane bucket. Slide the free horizontal slider and AP moving the small slider away 1 block space. B falls and hits his head on the stair causing him to roll onto the platform. Very stable actually. And I didn't see it as a shortcut. It's an alternate move. I had to do everything else you devised.
    • Darren Schrag
      @Don G Rowe got it. On my device i tested that before publishing. all I had to do was remove some vertical slider rails (which I did) and my B falls on the corner brick block instead of hiting the stair.
    • Don G Rowe
      I suppose you could also use the slider to redirect B towards the desert platform as he falls ... but never had to resort to it. It's almost impossible to block everything, and just when you think you have, someone like me comes along using a different device with different OS and can do it anyway. :mad:
