The BBQ

B and his wife R are preparing a BBQ. So much to do! [Warning: difficult, needs much thought and some trial and hopefully little error. No weird tricks.]

      If you do nothing, it rolls off the level after being pushed. What in the level seems like a destination for it? But surely it can't get there, nothing can move such that it can, right.....?
      So what is it's purpose? Both R and B can already get almost anywhere. The path the ball enables must have a purpose.
      There's a connection between the first two hints. The inside ball allows, quite indirectly, some stuff that relates to the ball on the wall.

      Nice oven in the backyard :smirk: It's somewhat sneaky, but not too hard since there aren't too many elements to consider.

      Wow! Little bit hidden and sneaky but it has a very clever design, and as @richardfu_ said, at the end there aren't so many options to play with so you finally find the way. The final idea and its effect is gorgeous. Thanks!

      First - the hints didn't help at all. Second - "A little bit hidden" - more like hidden.
      Thanks to one of my levels, I know that balls weigh more than bots.
      It was great when I seen the circle tap on the win. Thanks

      @gmacpro I say 'a little bit' because all I want you to see is very visible. Only the inside ball is a bit hidden, because it's inside. The rest I want to be a surprise and therefore invisible. But judging from the response so far, it seems that as I hoped it could be found out, which is always difficult to predict as level maker.

      I must be doing this the wrong way or missing some subtlety, because although i can win using presumably the designed solution with the spectacular finish, my success rate is only about 33%.

      @ridgerunner
      Do you block the ball, so it doesn't roll off from the level?
    • ridgerunner
      @Block builder ..yes
      plus hercules move. Have won with B though looks as if R could win too.
    • Block builder
      @ridgerunner
      The intended solution is to block the ball with B, and autopilot over it as it falls, to go down with the elevator.

      Alternatively, as @chemi showed me, you can block it with R, requiring good timing with B pushing the ball.

      The free block and ball should end up in the gutter, that never failed for me.

      Very hidden but surprising way to build a ball track. :smirk:

      Interesting design. Surprising ending. But I restarted for the last move, not sure if I solved right, .....

      For all I went through to make it, the BBQ didn't taste good.

      Sneaky... :smirk:
      Apparently nothing seems to have any sense, but each piece fits perfectly for a surprising solution :shades:
