I'm trying to reconstruct the WCP, This 156 was about DRONES.

This drone is clearly responsible for post-storm cleanup, or at least to swoop in and look for trapped and injured people.
#3: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Sep 12, 2018
A bit of both, actually. In case roads are blocked.

Oh. I thought it was in full destructo - mode.
#5: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Nov 19, 2019
That's a possibility, Bill. At this resolution it'd be hard to see the pew-pew lasers. :)

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by valerie.

I am too sleepy to remember whether I used lookahead to solve it, or just regular logic. Go to bed, self!

Get a good night's rest, Valerie. You deserve it.

I realize that some solvers are not big fans of advanced logic, so I tweak my puzzles to make sure they can be solved by logic alone.

Unless I messed up (always possible), I didn't need any lookahead for this one.
#14: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Feb 13, 2023
Thanks Wombatilim!

i realized that some solvers are not comfortable with advanced logic so decided to make all my puzzles solveable without resorting to advanced logic.
