Crawler

Copyright (c) 2009, M. Oskar van Deventer. Crawler is a mechanical maze.The object is to move the Crawler piece from the center to the exit or vice verse. The passages and walls are mechanically enforced. The colors are an aid to see what moves can be made. Crawler is the result of a collaboration with George Miller (http://puzzlepalace.com/viewTag.php5?id=7).

How is it hard?

[OskarPuzzle]

You can solve it in 15 minutes or so. Not extreme,sometimes confusing.

[Jorbs3210]

No... I mean how are the moves disabled (what's the word?)?

[OskarPuzzle]

Ah, you are asking about the mechanism. Sorry, I misunderstood. The circular holes are not perfect circles, they have little notches. And the Crawler piece had little knobs. Only if the notches match with the knobs, the Crawler pieces can crawl to the next hole.

[Jorbs3210]

@OskarPuzzle I mean, can't you ALWAYS rotate the crawler so every move is possible?

[OskarPuzzle]

@Jorbs3210 Correct. It is a maze. Some moves are blocked by a "wall".
