This puzzle is based on Pneumatic Diversity Vents. There are also Tractor Beams included as well as Light Bridges and Fizzler Fields. Minimal hazards, but some parts are pretty tricky when it comes to getting that cube. Medium to hard difficulty.

Everything went as planned until chamber #4.

Spoiler

I wasn't expecting the cube to be moved by the tractor beam. I figured the white panels were to far apart to do that (@ 3:35 in the video). It was supposed to be the venting pressure to move them. Same as with the next chamber (2nd last chamber). Use the vent pressure to catch the cube. Then portal over to the corner to retrieve it. But when you tractor beamed with a cube to the very last chamber, that was very much unexpected. :notwant:

I guess I should have put more of those grated barriers over the white panels, but I had the object limit maxed out. Oh well, something to remember. Thanks for sharing.

Another great map, nice use of vents and funnels.

Sometimes I was surprised when I activated a button, example: orange funnel in last chamber -no predicting that it would appear....
or, deactivated a button (cube removed ) while standing on the raised flip panel - had to jump when activating to avoid getting caught - maybe not intended...but definitely the way to get up to the next level...

Still a fun map - very creative...thanks...
