[SP] Color Me Rainbow and Spank Me Skyward
Heya! This is the map I made for the mapping contest but I decided to upload improved version here. It's too late for the competetion but you can enjoy it.
Welcome to the world of colors! CMRaSMS is a map consisting of 3 smaller chambers and a main hub. The puzzles will get harder further you go on and I feel that this will be a real challenge to all portal players.
If you read this before playing here is few small tips for you:
1. If you can move on to the next area you probably should. Some testing elements are needed later and you will just be wasting time trying to use them.
2. Plan ahead if you can. This might save you from running around.
Edit. Official solution video is up for anyone who is curious. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPxBhaqBmYM
The map was finished in a hurry and there are some known problems. For example, the green room has one portal surface on what the lightbridge stops randomly in mid air.

Gah, fuck, this is hard. So far I managed to get to the button at the top of the red room, then get the cube on the funnel button in the blue room... Have to take a break for a while, but thought I'd make a little vid of how I did the red:
Not totally sure that's the intended solution, as it's a wee bit fiddly, but it was satisfying nonetheless. I didn't really like the fact that
Aesthetically it's pretty nice; for some reason the lights make me think of Quake....

I'm glad someone is playing this 
Your solution was close to intended but you overcomplicated things up a little.
Here is the intended solution if you are interested:
I tried to hint about those test elements that didn't need to be used yet. That laser catcher is one of them. You will need it later
I was aiming for a hard map and you can trust me that it will get harder. Good luck!

Should I play this or the Contest version of this map? I'm doing walkthroughs and blindruns for the contest maps, so uhh...this I guess?
This has some fixes over the contest one. I'd recommend playing this one.

Shakky, in your video at 1:04, what's going on? I can't see clearly... How's the laser being directed from opposite the laser catcher when you're pointing it out of the room?
Maybe I haven't done enough investigating...

Ha, well, I had a little trouble making that fling and actually found my way easier. In the blue room I'm also not sure I did everything as intended, as it felt pretty ninja. Regardless, I seem to have reached another impasse at the moment... Rest assured, though, I am playing it!

Oh, we're playing this, but we're getting our butts spanked and we're too embarrassed to post. 
I, too, was completely distracted by trying to activate the second catcher in the red room. Now that I see how it is, I will continue on.
My another portal is there on the floor panel. Laser points down the portal under me and while the cube jumps up and down the lasers keeps going through it and the cube points it like that.
I hope you understand what I mean.

Oh yes of course... how daft of me
