A moderate challenge requiring 5 moves. Look for indirect paths and potential blocker positions. 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.
