      Need - FD in wedge. No more tricks!
      Advice - before you drop B down, first drop FD down and put FD as a backup - this is a guarantee of stability!
      Advice2 - I highly recommend leaving the FD cylinder in a STANDING POSITION throughout the entire level! Don't tilt it on its side - it's not convenient to work with it then.

      Time - 3:15
      This effect was found and used @Chris Hester :
      http://mekoramaforum.com/media/the-ring-2.32102/. Thank you @Chris Hester - I like this interesting effect;):thumbsup:. I just improved it a little bit - replaced the FD cube with an FD cylinder. It became easier to trigger this effect.

      Explanation: Sometimes in one cell of the mekorama grid there can be partially two blocks at once! B bot sees the one of the two blocks which is mostly in this cell. Because the wedge is a half-block and the FD cylinder is rounded - then the FD cylinder can easily mostly occupy this cell with its physical body. B does not see the wedge! B sees the FD - and goes to it as a full-fledged block!

      As a rebellious player, my general tactic in this level was shenanigans. I autopilot on to L, which pushed L from the level. Is used the (by then already on its side) FD and pushed it under L. B had fallen from the level on top of L, so now I had a bot stack for star 1.

      Then I found a collapsing bot stack towards star 2 due to rail on the ceiling. I guided L to the stack of stairs, and dropped him by removing the FD. B could step on him. Then I repeatedly removed the FD and shoved it under L, until he was sufficiently disturbed to start to rotate. The the bot stack walked to star two.

      Rails on the ceiling again destroyed the bot stack. A good thing because L needed to be guided. Using the same impolite method on L, I recovered the bot stack at the stairs, and B took the third star.

      The solution video is much cleaner and smart. But I felt #obtuse, and enjoyed myself alot in this level. Thanks. :D

      @Block builder Yes, I see that you had a very funny gameplay:rotf::D:thumbsup:
      The most important thing is that you enjoyed it - that's the main thing. I'm very glad.:thumbsup:
      Thank you SO MUCH my friend ;)

      I also missed the move at 2:04 which looks so obvious in retrospect. I blame the water and poor visibility. My gameplay was similar to that of @Block builder . I had no autopilot but i did also agitate L with the FD to encourage rotation.

      Another very fun FD level with your usual cute design. Fortunately I found the intended gameplay :D.спасибо @Denis Nazin ;)

      Firstly, thank you for the credit! I am glad to have inspired this level! Yes, the rounded FD is better than a square one, except when it falls over. :rotf:

      I managed to solve this one without watching the video. That is a rare thing! But I only got the win block. I couldn't see how to get the stars.

      Great design as usual!

      But my friend, there is no need for B to go round the level after dropping L in the gap! B can step onto him straight away (once you pull out the FD). Then I just forced the FD back under the bot and B rose high enough to reach the win!

      My only gripe is that the FD must be positioned carefully before dropping as the first few times it fell over and got stuck in the hole (still at the top)! :eek:
