      Give it a try! To gain some experience with the exploits in question, give my other puzzle a try: EZPZ1

      But most importantly - have fun!
      :)

      Good use of the same trick a number of times!

      @GtB - yes, i don't think people are very familiar with it yet. Did you solve it?
    • trids
      Actually, it's meant to be solved with two related exploits - one of them was discovered by @B Hill in my EZPZ1 puzzle.
      ;)

      I just ran across the grey headed zappers in 3 different places?

      @GtB - well done!
      There may be more ways than i had in mind, but my first jump is slightly different to the other two. In fact, it's the one that @B Hill discovered.
      You were so quick too - I'd barely posted it before you replied. And i thought I was going to need to give more hints!

      Your layout was amazing!! I solved it...

      Thank you! And well done - I'll have to be more cunning next time.

      The most consistently successful gap crossing was using the 180° exploit. Many of my other attempted crossings were still resulting in getting B zapped. I'm not sure what was causing it apart from built-in quirks of the game physics that sometimes had B incomplete the crossing (and fall in the gap) or bend/dip down close enough to the zapper bot that had already passed and still get zapped. :(
      What I liked about this level were the many path options and the simplicity of game play that allowed for experimentation. Thank you!

      @nGord - I shall post a spoiler for a reliable solution. Keep an eye open for it here.
      ;)

      Here's how to win consistently...
      Using the marked reference points in the diagram below:
      [​IMG]

      Start by sending your bot to block A, and wait for a Z bot to start making a 180° in the gap in front of him - then tap on block B. Wait at B until a Z bot passes block C, and tap on D. After your bot crosses over, quickly tap on E before he falls into the passageway. When he's calmed down, send him back to D and wait there. When a Z bot passes F, tap on F. After that, the goal is yours!

      Solved. Nice level, thanks!
      By the way, B never burnt its feet. :p

      ...
      only need help from two Z robots.
      1. from a Z which only walk in a line.
      2. from a Z which walk cicrling the map.

      but before got that conclusion,
      was doing few trial and error.

      thanks for sharing mr. trids.
