Oh wow, this chamber! I spent over 2 hours on it, had the self-powered cubes down within minutes but couldn't work out how to keep the lasers on with the laser blocker switch activated. Needed to look at the comments. I won't deny I felt like giving up multiple times. I'm usually pretty good with logic puzzles, but complex laser puzzles in portal always give me trouble XD. My one regret: When I did finally align everything (I ended up using amieres method), I didn't screenshot from the walkway above :,(. Fantastic puzzle though. I'm just frustrated as, with most laser puzzles, I start off just fine and then the final step often eludes me. This was the first chamber ever I had to look in depth at the comments to find out the solution so far as I can remember, and even then it still wasn't easy, (I've looked in the comments for hints before but not actual solutions XP)

This was one of the more complex maps that I encountered. Beautiful. Excellent use of logic!

In my solution each cube uses its own laser to power its own catcher, except when the panels are raised in the end, then the last cube powers the first cube through the portal .

@amieres: Well the trick you used to make self-powered cubes was the main mechanism to find in this map I think, so even if the final pattern is not the expected one you probably made it using the intended method ^^

@amieres: Really? Could you post a screenshot of your solution? :) I'm probably not gonna fix it, but it's still interesting to know ^^

I solved it different than the intended way, not so elegant but fun anyway.

Thanks, this puzzle was one of the rare maps where I started building without any idea of what solution I wanted at the end X) Then I tried to "enforce" the weird solution I found...
But I believe this kind of map is not the best one, if you don't get the trick you may never figure out the solution and give up ^^"
