<noname> (SPOILER) This is also Ctrl-0'ed.

<noname> (SPOILER) Thank goodness I'm able to Ctrl-0 this nonsense.
<N7DOT 2> Nobody's beaten this yet... hmmm... This is my second 4x4 'hard' level.

<mm> (SPOILER) Dearest Wowei! Please don't blame me. I did neither invent nor create that trap.
 
In the Jungle, The Mighty Jungle... Sat 20 Nov 2010 16:42
<Dave> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 109 moves (old: 129).
Enough for now. Probably quite a way from optimal yet.

<wowei> (SPOILER) Hey, that's not nice. Looks wonderful but it really is not nice at all to put the trapdoor there! I mean, I haven't solved it yet. ;)

I like Dave's concept also, and the 7-bots levels are great too.
 
Cheating Death In A Slightly More Dire Position Fri 19 Nov 2010 01:05
<G Anthony Ne> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 16 moves (old: 20).
yea I spent 3 days in ICU~~~~
<N7DOT 3> I guess this cooks the original. Please do not post the solution on the old version, or this will get ruined.

<N7DOT 3> not right now, though. I don't have TOO much time.
<N7DOT 3> durn, i thought that would happen. Better trap those guys so you have to fish 'em out!
<radiant> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 18 moves (old: 69).
It seems like bots 1-9 are taking up space for a mechanism that a single bot could perform just as well.
<N7DOT 3> the D-maps could also be mixed up, resulting in a different puzzle.

<mm> (SPOILER) :-) Thanks! You seem to be right, a six bot level might be redundant at this state of exploration. But I truely hope that you will create more of your wonderfully tough levels! If ever you might need my cooperation again, I'll be there. ;-)

<Dave> (SPOILER) Hi Kirima. I agree, the six bot levels were both good but this level forces you to use the solutions to both of them at the same time which renders them pretty redundant. A new six bot version would have to force a markedly different challenge. You did too good a job!

<mm> (SPOILER) Thany you Dave! But somehow it is a pity that now we don't have a 6 bots level anymore because I think we would need or just like such a 6 bots level! Less than 5 bots seems to be an illusion without destroying the entire (really great!) concept, IMO.
<Dave> (SPOILER) That's tricky, Kirima. I have deleted 6B7Bv2 as you have totally cooked it by coming up with this version. But that's cooking the hard way :-)
 
The Carousel Wed 17 Nov 2010 22:01
<N7DOT 3> Oh Noes! The picture Doesn't show up on the page!
<N7DOT 3> And yes, it coes have a little bit of challenge, even though there really isn't a no-win position, unless you corner yourself between 4 blocks and a wall.
 
Seven Bots for Seven Buttons Wed 17 Nov 2010 16:33
<mm> (SPOILER) Hi Dave, why not just keep the three of them?
 
grouff Wed 17 Nov 2010 10:21
<G Anthony Ne> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 234 moves (old: 248).
like life you'd be surprised how things fall into place without really trying.
 
Seven Bots for Seven Buttons Wed 17 Nov 2010 04:12
<Dave> (SPOILER) Hi wowei and Kirima, I was going to commit this to the graveyard but it appears that wowei still likes it. I would really like a second opinion here on which of the levels I have the key for that I should delete?
 
Seven Bots ... (and the big bad witch) Tue 16 Nov 2010 20:34
<Dave> (SPOILER) Love the speedrun, wowei. It always looked like there was going to be a solution of this nature but I just couldn't get it work, hence I had to run with my marathon length brute force effort. Hindsight is a wonderful thing :-)
 
The Dance (for the solution) Tue 16 Nov 2010 19:11
<N7DOT 3> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 14 moves (old: 135).
The fast way.
 
Seven Bots ... (and the big bad witch) Tue 16 Nov 2010 16:39
<wowei> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 491 moves (old: 942).
i've found a few shortcuts but it is a great level. this solution works on the royal level 7"plus" too.
 
Seven bots "plus" Tue 16 Nov 2010 16:02
<Dave> (SPOILER) Solved using the solution to 7B(BBW), which I can now get down to 856 by stealing bits of wowei's speedrun of the original.

I guess it is possible that there are far better solutions to 7B(BBW) which won't work here.
