[Maze] Cat A - Black box

[Foton]

This maze is designed not for precise handling but as a brain teaser. Successful path (order of tilts) has to be found by try-error approach. Path is designed with "full tilt and no timing" in mind. So you can always go to full tilt (no hole directly at end of corridor) but which side you choose to tilt is what matter.

There is one, little dangerous, shortcut.

Critical tiles at border of holes are red.

Board have two levels, which enable use of real holes. Bottom level (grey one) only collect dropped balls, top one is black box with start and finish places.

By replacing some black tiles on top with transparent one, or reverse, you can make puzzle more or less challenging.

Parts used in my digital work are (after 3 redesigns) all available on Bricklink, so maze can be build in real. LXF file is attached.

Very cool maze idea. Only problem with the full tilt approach I see is you would need to simultaneously tilt both to the right AND forwards at one point near the start.

This post is Just experimenting with direct link photos from Google Photos to this forum. Direct links do not have extension, so EB deny them.

Adding "-tmp.jpg" at and of URL will fix it.

And after resizing window with Google photos (before "Show picture"), you get smaller picture.

That's an outside the box approach to a maze, or is it, inside the box?

Great idea, I think it would be fun to try

Interesting concept! Once familiar with the path I could see a time-trial challenge from this design.

I appreciate this very creating take on the maze idea.
