      I'm not getting this one. Here's what I tried:

      There are two ball that can roll down a track. If you want, B can roll down with the ball using autopilot. To prevent the balls from rolling on, I freeze P in the position where another ball can later unfreeze P. But; P is not strong enough and the balls have too much momentum. I tried the immovable dragable on top to slow the balls down, but no succes.

      Other than finding a way to get a ball on the dirt wedge near the end to get L towards the win, I could see a gameplay if P were more stable.

      Am I on the right track? Any hint maybe?

      @Block builder -
      P doesn't need to do that move. Your last para is on track.

      Yes, one ball should roll to the dirt wedge near last star. It should be a move using all three bots. P freezes L and L stops the ball and B might need to redirect the ball

      Very complex level so happy to be able to solve it... I recognize that I was lost during a while trying different things until I remembered a movement of your previous level & then the pieces started to fit :sneaky:... but even so & only using the trick you mentioned I have doubts about my solution :oops: so I made a movie...
      the only difference in this movie with my original win is that...
      in my victory, L dismounts B because collides with the wedge of the roof but in the video I have recorded L does not crash so it was more risky to lower to the ground because L could have gone up to an area that did not interest me and that would have forced me to restart... luckily that hasn't happened :D
      well, what do you think my friend? :rolleyes:
      Anyway, great challenge!! thanks for sharing & for the fun @ohmytian ;)

      @delator77 - I did it much different and I didn't use two balls. BTW, I didn't see your auto pilot move and that would have helped my way even more.

      Thanks @ohmytian and @Meko Guy , I managed to finish this level very similarly to @delator77 .

      Although I performed a different autopilot, getting on to the half-pillar of the first high ball, stepping on the ball, and rolling down all the way. Then B can access the same ball as delator77 pushed next.

      And for me L did drop off of B with the wedge, and I was happy with that because I saw all the risks in the next area.

      The reason I struggled with this level is because that "turning ball guidance" trick is not in the library of tricks in my brain.

      Overall this levelnis not very intuitive, and some parts are not that stable. I considered giving 4 stars, but in the end the solution is more stable than the various things I tried.

      Found this one difficult as there were so many options. Had a non designed win at first not having any balls in the hole where the star ball can be pushed . Knew it was not the designed gameplay as timing was tricky to keep a ball in place and not let it fall into aforesaid hole. My full gameplay is similar to @delator77 but didn’t use the autopilot at 1:45. And again didn’t push the star ball.
    • Meko Guy
      @ridgerunner - I didn't push the star ball either but the auto pilot at 1:45, which I didn't see, would have saved me a lot of moves.

      Excellent!

      @delator77 @Meko Guy @Block builder @ridgerunner Thanks a lot for spending time on this level. I've posted the video of my walkthrough so y'all might want to have a look. My solution involves less herding as I let Pillar bot go the his freezing spot right away. Actually there's two way to complete this level according to my gameplay first is shown in the video where the second highest ball rolled to the dirt wedge. Second is when the ball rolled to the other side to the star ball, this will need B to perform the autopilot delator77 used at 1:45. For the L drop off of B part, yes - sometimes L drop and sometimes don't but I didn't see any huge issue there if any of that happens. To be honest, I changed a lot of blocks during development as well as the initial position of bots and I forgot to erase those extra blocks. Otherwise it won't be having so much possibilities. My bad.

      @ohmytian The autopilot at 1:43 didn't work in my case. The destination tile was considered inaccessible. It probably depends on how the balls stack.
    • Meko Guy
      @ohmytian - @Block builder - You may know this or not but the move at 1:45ish where B walks over the ball that is on a ball that HAD A STAR will work if the highest ball lands on the star ball and will not work if the 2nd highest ball does. This is called 'Star Pass' a newer trick introduced with the new version of Mekorama. I was pushing the 2nd highest ball (which comes from the wrong direction) and getting it to land on the star ball and B WILL NOT PASS due to Star Pass.

      My level tomorrow is called 'Star Stop' where this exploit is used.

      EDIT - not tomorrow but the next day
    • ohmytian
      @Block builder That's weird as I can tap it every time.

      @Meko Guy Wait, I'm a little confused here. I wasn't very familiar with this star pass exploit. I remembered I played a few levels with this exploit before but it wasn't a very well-known thing(at least to me) so I had forgotten how it works.
