Desc:
Getting to this totem may be harder than it looks . . . The game shouldn't last longer than 2:05. This map is somewhat of a puzzle, good luck finding the solution! =P
I assure you it is beatable! (See my score)!

To all those having problems with this map:
Spoiler
The point of this map, is to get from one end to the other as
fast as possible. Try to think about the fastest ways to
extend your network. ;)
More hints will come later.
Huh. Awesome. I get to the totem in 2:02. I can't believe you get it in 1:56. Perfect.
hmm... first acutally fast map but also hard at first... great job for your first 'sort of' puzzle!
Fun puzzle Colin! :)
ok i have no idea how to finish this.. apparently people have solved it could someone please just tell me how iv been trying for a week now... i know i suck... so just tell me :) :P
Well here is what I did, there is also another way of solving
it that I know of, but it is similar (In the box). Don't click on
box if you think you can solve it without tips/hints. The
contents of the box is a complete spoiler. :P

At first, you build a collector AND a SAM, then you fly the Sam with the
collectors as they build thus you build 2 collectors at a time instead of 1! Also note,
turn your packet filter for red/ammo packets to off.
The other solution involves building the Sam then landing it ahead of your nearest
built collector and using it as a 'collector'
Hope that helps! ;)
ok im sorry i dont understand that.. that doesnt help there are too many inbound flying creepers and to add to that insane amounts of emitters ..
Spoiler
by the time i build the sam and the collector and try to do anything interesting my time is up...
im missing something :o ??? :-\ .. help!
Ok, I'll use some screen shots to walk you through this.
Spoiler
First you build collectors and a SAM simultaneously:

Then you fly the SAM with your collectors:

As you can see you start a pattern, zig-zaging back and forth:

After you do that for all of your collectors you should get to here:

Also don't get frustrated if it doesn't work the first couple of times,
the margin for error is about 2 seconds using this method. ;)
oh hey thanks alot now i get it :) ... ;D ;D :)
Looking at the scores it is clear that there is another solution. Presumably flying above the mass of creeper until the walls decay and then flying to the totem.
