FudgeChi, you can post as much as you want, as long as you label it clearly as a spoiler, or make the text white.
This puzzle was a stinker! I refused to give up and finally made it work. I think this is how I did it...
SPOILER ALERT
Start with a red and blue, drop off the red at the top.
Bring the blue back and drop off the blue on the bottom
Pick up two reds, drop off one red at top.
YOU SHOULD NOW HAVE TWO REDS AT TOP
Take the red back to the bottom and drop it off
Pick up two blues from the bottom and drop off one at top
Pick up a red from the top (add it to the blue in the chute)
YOU SHOULD NOW HAVE ONE BLUE, ONE RED AT TOP
Take blue and red to bottom and drop off red on bottom, pick up blue so you have two blues in chute
Drop off both blues in top and pick up red
YOU SHOULD NOW HAVE 3 BLUES ON TOP
Take red to bottom and pick up another red
Take reds to the top and drop off one red
YOU SHOULD NOW HAVE 3 BLUES AND ONE RED ON TOP
Take one red to bottom and pick up the last red
Take both reds to the top
You may have to pick up a blue and a red and take them back to the bottom and arrange them in the chute so that the red exits first when you get back to the top.
The trick with this game is that it is not a simple as it seems. Your reds can get blocked in by your blues and vice versa. A lot of my time was spent rearranging the switches so I could access the color I wanted. For your last move, you want to try to get the reds and blues on either side leaving the center two blocks empty, where you can then place your red first then the blue. For me, the trickiest part was rearranging the placement of the switches. I hope this made sense.
