Use helps from Anti-Creeper Emitters and be careful with healthy drones, please! Good luck!

High health drones are mostly meant to give a challenge. If you don't like it, simply play another map, accept the challenge and/or explain why it doesn't fit in this map, the last thing helps map makers a lot! :)

1 DBeam on a switchback got it with about 5 squares to go, no worries! 8)
if there's a high health drone or powerful emitter ctrl-c to save and give it a go, i you fail then ctrl-v to reload and try again with a new strategy.  ;)

Oh I'm no stranger to save slumming, I just think there's a fine line between challenge and annoyance, drones usually cross it for me. Much like phantoms I feel like they rarely ever add anything to a map except an inconvenience. I have never played a map and then thought to my self "Wow those drones were awesome" or "hey this map needed more phantoms". I usually just deal with them and then enjoy the rest of the map. On the other hand, when I decide to quit a map because I'm not enjoying it, its almost always the drones that inspire that. There are a lot of maps that I would play and enjoy except for the drones. This looks like another one.
