Warning!! This will consume hours of your precious time: Help the lego trashbot for the good of mankind. The first few levels are relatively easy, but see if you can get past level 17 in six moves or less - it nearly killed me. Link courtesy of iamcal.

Wow. It's definitely not Quake, but much better than Monopoly. What's tough, (if you have the will power), is to accomplish the task within 10 or 15 moves. My kids will love this.

Yikes, I hate the one with the 20 moves in Building #2, I can't get that, I've got Golds in the rest.

This is very addictive :)

...and as my brain melts and trickles out of my ear...

If you like this game, there's a CD-ROM game from a few years back called "Rubik's Puzzles" (or something like that) that has a lot of games like that one and includes a 3D Rubik's Cube...

Darkpony, I don't know how to do that one in the prescribed 8 moves, but follow the hint it gives - Build up about 4 bricks on the other side of the trash, then build across from there, leaving about 2 to make a bridge to get the bot across.

It is actually possible in 8, try some more and if you don't get it by the time I get home from work I'll redo it and draw you an ASCIIgram.
posted by jdc at 1:45 PM on August 29, 2001

Jdc, that'd be cool if you could do that. I haven't been trying that hard to get levels done in the right number of moves - I just try to get it done at all and move on. Except for the ones where I slip with the mouse and it counts a move I didn't mean to make!

Fun game.

I got it folks..thanks for all the help. I was emailed a tip...my biggest problem was I didnt SEE the white ones underneath.. I was tryin just with the six or seven blue ones..oy oy.

aladfar is now only reponsible for the fact that I am moving on friday and haven't had time to pack. aladfar get yer butt over here and pack for me so I can finish taking out the trash in building two.

Eyaaaaagh the 20 move one is fierce.
I have trouble doing it in 40, or even 50.

I finished the game, I didn't get all golds though...

I hate the fridge one, the air bridge one, the monster one and a few others..
