Robot Factory

Description

The object of the game is to slide the puzzle pieces around until all robot parts are assembled into complete robots.

To set up the game, place the 8 puzzle tiles on the game board as indicated in the selected challenge. Each puzzle tile has two sides: one side has artwork, the other side is empty. Start by placing the pieces with artwork first as indicated.

All other pieces can be flipped over to the empty side and used anywhere an empty tile is indicated.

Slide the puzzle tiles around the game board to create complete robots:

• Puzzle pieces cannot be lifted to place them elsewhere, they can only be moved by sliding them!
• Each robot needs to have wheels or legs on one tile and a body with head on an adjacent tile.
• The grey conveyor belts can’t be used as a bottom part for a robot.
• Any bottom part can be combined with any top part, but all completed robots must have a top and bottom.

You have found the solution when all robots are assembled. In easier challenges you only need to make 1 or 2 robots. In more difficult challenges you need to complete up to 7 working robots. All challenges can be solved in 32 moves or less. The challenge booklet includes one possible solution for each challenge; note that easy challenges often have multiple correct solutions.
