      Device issues again caused problems making my starts awkward. The move at 25 seconds was the obvious one to try but always ended up with B in the trench-restart. I also had problems with B holding his position after the autopilot. I failed to see the use of the ball so used a shortcut to get B in a position where R could be made to turn right. My ending was similar but due to my rotatable having greater velocity , the move wasn’t possible. I reversed the rotation to clockwise that enabled my win.

      @ridgerunner - Sorry to hear that B ended up in the trench. In an earlier version of this level, I had an opening in the trench so B could get out just in case but that was only because the vertical swing arm was the ending. Since it's now at the start, a restart didn't hurt as much however my B never ended up in the trench. Thanks for P, C and R.

      What was your shortcut to skip the ball?
    • ridgerunner
      @gmacpro . Used the pendulum to nudge B direction of zapper. Never got zapped for some reason.

      @ridgerunner - Okay - I tried that and never had any luck so good shortcut for you.

      Wowee, tough.

      Glad the main mechanism was near the start as I needed many restarts... Then I made a mistake and had a runway R. Once wrangled back on course, things went ok until the 'spinner' stopped (or ran out of momentum?). Fortunately with R now in place, I could deviate B off course and managed to use it to give a gentle push and provide enough momentum to get to the finish line.

      Very challenging and creative, so definitely a 5-star puzzle! :thumbsup:

      @Stew - The vertical mechanism was at the end before I revamped the entire level so it was up front. I'm surprised that the horizontal mechanism stopped as it tends to run a long time but all devices are different. I'm glad you won and thanks for P, C and R.

  • - Auto pilot
    - slide push
    Brick
    - A good place for R
    - If B falls off at the end, then the recovery slider may be able to help to save a restart
