  The level, of course, is only about showing off the timer.

I didn't try to optimize the number of bots used for the digits. There's a couple of ways one could try. A very big level and metal blocks sliding onto coloured buttons might do it. A smaller number of bots doing short teleporting walks with other bots flipping the buttons in their paths, perhaps. And of course noting which tiles are on more than they are off, and only turning them off when they're not needed.

All of which sounded way too much like hard work. :)

  Whoops, how do I keep doing that? The previous comment should be on this level, naturally.

  Really easy, but that timer countdown is worth style points! Bonus points for someone who figures out how to scale it to multi-digit counts ;)

This level is just silly playing around with bots.
