      Think I'm gonna give some hints as only two of us have rated it as of now :D
      Note that the slider platform keeps them from running away. They stop when the metal block is in front, but turn when it's not there.
      The zappers make it only solvable when both bots are in place. Don't lose either one of the R bots. The level has a number of "traps" that would cause R to leave the pool area.
      -- Don't let a single bot arrive at its destination if the other bot isn't also arriving. Otherwise either bot would be trapped while you attempt to get the other bot into position.
      Initially, sliding in either directions can release only one bot at a time.
      In order to release both simultaneously, the R on the right has to first walk around to the left. Slide in to initiate movement. Slide out immediately by 1 grid such that it won't step onto the slider and walk away. Then slide in again to stop him on the left side.
      Now that both bots are stopped on the left side, move the slider to the rightmost position. Both would begin to turn.
      While the left spot will automatically be secured, the right spot still needs some work. Immediately slide in and let the other R walk onto the slider, and slide out again by 1 grid so that he won't be trapped by the stairs.
      Notice that the left spot now holds R (front-facing) with the slider in place, while the other R is turning around.
      Once it turns towards the goal, push the slider back in and secure the right spot. The first R bot would also turn as you slide it in, but is immediately stopped facing the right. :D

      I was off the grid yesterday on a mountain so just getting back to this one. I finally did it, I think simply through process of elimination. Excellent use of the bot pausing trick doubled!

      Another great level balancing perfectly logic and ability. Thanks!

      For a long time I thought it'd be pointless to make a video for this pure puzzle, but it's now added to the Caption tab...... :rolleyes:

      This was pure simple fun! Easy logic which makes itself evident after a few trials. The multiple use of the bot-stopper was very nice. :thumbsup:
