stuck...I think I need a hint?

Hi All,
We've (Lauren & Dale) been stuck...I'll try to be oblique here which is difficult since gunmetal is our first Revo.

It took a while for us to be able to reset, but we're good at that now.

I (Dale) started with building an auto-mapper, found it wasn't working for me, and switched to more standard mapping (although I suspect it needs improvement). I recently learned something, but haven't sorted out how to recreate it.
Lauren is now at the same spot as I am...and we have no idea how to proceed (we've been stuck for a few weeks).

So....I'm hoping this thread will provide a way for people to find members who can PM (or obscure hints?)
We can PM my map if someone is willing to look at it.

Glad the forum is back!
Thanks,
Dale & Lauren
ps. I'm hoping I was vague enough that I need to communicate with someone via PM for a hint.

I don't have any hints, but boy oh boy would I love a hint. I've been stuck for a while now.

the Gunmetal is a very difficult first Revo...

have you found any behavior you cannot explain?

@maximos92 - not sure exactly how/where you are stuck, but mapping is key according to everyone. FYI in my case where we were unable to make progress is indeed for good reason.

Thanks to the couple of members who reached out...they confirmed my map was pretty correct (which I'd doubted!) and gave us something to think about (which also sortof agrees with smiteo's comment).

Bottom line...still stuck at the same spot, but thinking a little differently about it now (in other words not banging my head against a brick wall and trying to recreate that "something").

Thanks,
Dale & Lauren

Hey Dale & Lauren,

Of course you can open the Gunmetal puzzle as your first, and one might even say it may be easier to do if you haven't tried any other revos since you wouldn't have any previous revo experiences to "cloud" your judgement.

I opened the blue first then tried the GM and got stuck for a handful of hours, but since my Green and Bronze were on their way to me, I set it aside and went on to the green once it arrived.

I've opened the Green and am now working on the Bronze and GM. Stuck on both at this time!

Good luck and like everyone says, map it!

-Daren

If anyone would help me out and look at my map, please PM me. I have drawn a few more at work tonight, and am pretty happy with where it is at this point. I am still having issues moving forward.

I have just started on my gunmetal. What is my first Revomaze! I have found 3 controlled movements that move you to the next part. the third part I'm stuck at, has a reset and nothing else but dead ends. I have 5 hrs thus far. Look forward to finishing.

Nope. Even after a detour through Bronze which I can open at will now.
Lot, I hesitate to ask for fear of giving too much away, but are you able to get to the start ring?
