I really like playing "Cube" games and this was no exception.
A lot of fun.
Pick your attack sequence carefully. It is not as intuitive as you might think.

how long and which gate releases digging packets? I have yet to see one

After you nullify one of the top-left emitters, the lower-right gateway will start digging. But before that, you should be prepared to kill strong and fast drones (the 10hp drones should be killed in a few frames, or you'll lose a blaster) and a lot of creeper (1500M creeper is released to kill the AC and cube 7 and 8 will also break open).

without looking at the map editor, I didn't dig everything and was wondering the same thing. I nullified everything then dug out the terrain. Just be prepared for the creeper and drones ;)

deleted as unwinnable - I cannot come CLOSE to getting reactor tech.

Is it seriously that hard?
How many blasters did you use?
Here's how I did it:

Frustrating to me atleast. I imagine it's pretty fun, it's a pretty smart idea, nicely done. I'm jsut too bad to get it past the blaster tech room. Drones keep killing my reuplsors after all xD

If the drones keep hitting your repulsors first make sure all drones target the LS and move it to the right (or left). Open up both columns of diggable terrain and move the repulsor through the column without drones and grab the tech. In meantime make sure the drones don't hit the LS until your blasters can handle it. You can move the repulsor into a drone to save some energy or use it to get reactor tech faster, but don't resupply it.

I get over run, there is just not enough energy, to do this

As there are already 38 scores I'm pretty sure it's doable for most average player (with enough patience). I'm trying to get a video up with the first few cubes.
EDIT: can't seem to create a CW2 video with fraps...

With FRAPS (So Virgil told me) you have to capture the DESKTOP and then play in full-screen mode. A consequence of AIR/Flash and how they do graphics.
