      Push the ball -> tap on the first stair -> rotate the motor -> tap on the top red brick

      It is a slight variation but a traditional autopilot also works in this level with B starting on the step higher than the ball so i am not sure what the benefit is?

      @ridgerunner I think the new autopilot is faster and easier (and cooler :p) than your traditional autopilot in this level/demo.

      The success rate of the trick when you attempt it for the first time is not 100%. You can even fall undesirably anywhere when B further walks through the upper stair block but if you're a smart player, you can press the lower stair block to redo the AWESOME TRICK.

      The success rate is higher if B is from a farther position :eek::eek::eek:

      In this level card for example, you can already attempt the "New Autopilot" where B is even at its initial position in the level card.

      For my first comment, B can still climb to the higher stair at some attempts.

      I think I know the way to perform the traditional autopilot. However, sometimes it is hard for B to climb up those stairs, right? So the new autopilot can prevent this problem...

      Therefore...

      Able to climb up the stairs at the first time: Use traditional autopilot

      Unable to climb up the stairs at the first time: Use new autopilot

      Yes, you are right, but sometimes B will stuck under the motor.

      Curious variation...I did a bit different but your way is cooler:rolleyes:

      @delator77 I found the new autopilot by accident... :p
    • ridgerunner
      @EL797 ....benefit of.... I realise one benefit is the ability to place a zapper up top to exclude the traditional autopilot .

      Not fan of your method as it's not intuitive and doesn't always work. My way works ever time for me.

      Isn't this more about where you start the autopilot, than it is about being a new autopilot?
      Because really, the only difference is where along the route you start it, right?
      In fact, B's difficulty in stepping off the ball makes every attempt unstable no matter where you start from .. and after countless plays trying different starting positions, it seems his original red block (after dropping the ball) is actually the most successful!
      Every other starting point suffers from a large degree of failure with B falling off the platform or giving up in confusion near that unstable ball.

    I found this (autopilot) trick quite interesting so I posted it here. Don't know if this is a new trick or not.

    Stability: 70% (but it won't cause restarts)
