Expert2026-01-30
An expert-level puzzle requiring at least 9 moves. Deep planning and precise blocker placement are essential. The target is near a corner, limiting approach angles. Use walls to your advantage. The target sits near the board edge. Boundary walls create natural stopping points. The target robot starts far from the goal. Plan a multi-step route across the board. Multiple robots must be moved as blockers before the target robot can reach its destination. The target area is surrounded by walls, creating a natural pocket. Find the right entry angle. A long slide is needed. Make sure stopping points are in place before committing.
