Here's my challenge mode solution.
Doubt it's legit, but I did the waterbottle rescue side quest, so I'm a hero either way.

Hahahaha... Awesome Sick!! All that flinging stuff is really cool!

Sicklebrick - are you ever gonna do something the intended way ?
I get the feeling you were the kid in school . . . cuttin' classes, smokin' weed, and acing the SAT. I only did the first two - LOL

I must ask Farmerino (this is for the challenge version) - does the intended solution involve angling the laser ?
That's a small ask which would save me a lot of time. You see, I am trying all sorts of angles including aiming the laser from room 2 into room 4 and lighting the catcher, even though so far I see no benefit from it.

The lab is backed up - I got a desktop that needs a new SSD, a notebook with a virus and another notebook crippled with too many TSRs loading. I need the dough - but this thing takes precedence !!

Lol, maybe. Just as long as nobody thinks it's malicious. Probably 90% of the time it's accidental, laziness or a fascination about how stuff's put together; I quite like finding them in my own maps too

But yeah, I was toying with angled lasers too [spoiler]for the relay in the fourth room for example with a floor portal from the top area[/spoiler]... wondering if that's the proper route.

PCdoc, sicklebrick - [spoiler]no, not really. I mean, there's obviously a bit of cube redirection involved, but no funny/tricky angles or cube balancing shenanigans. As I said above, the shifting of those lower panels in the challenge version is to prevent an angled laser solution[/spoiler].

Well yay for replay value then

Actually just updated the map into what I think (hope) will be its final incarnation, to remove an exploit that KennKong found where you could balance the cube on the edge of a floor portal. Should put all those crazily precise angle ideas to rest too.

The good news is that all of the whiteness is back; in fact, if I'd made this edit earlier I could have saved myself a fair bit of work on putting in that little Ratman den. Ah, well. And sicklebrick's solution is still possible, because that shit's awesome.

This seems more right
Did the dizzy camera sidequest...

Bollocks, this is embarrassing. I just enabled that, didn't I?

Will need to make another adjustment except Steam's decided it needs to re-download Portal 2 for some reason, just when I've only got two hours before I go away for a few days....

Just imagine that lift and button are the same level as the floor for now. I'll fix it on Saturday. Sorry about that.
