How to Solve Car Sort Level 171 — Full Solution
- Shorten the four roof towers so the square chamber stops receiving mixed traffic from above.
- Empty the two tall center stacks before trying to finish any tunnel output or bottom crate lane.
- Keep the three dome tunnels and the lower docks temporary while the chamber still needs the same road.
- Once the center stacks are stable, let the tunnels hand the route downward one lane at a time.
- Finish the bottom docks and crate receivers only after the chamber no longer feeds the tunnel row.

Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Four roof towers feed a square chamber with two tall center stacks, a row of three dome tunnels, and lavender docks plus crate-style receivers along the bottom.
- Goal
- Clear the chamber first, let the tunnel row complete the handoff second, and finish the bottom docks and crates only after the chamber road belongs to the lower half.
- Opening
- Trim the roof towers, empty the tall center stacks, and keep the tunnels and bottom docks flexible while the chamber is still contested.
- Danger Zone
- If one tunnel output or crate lane closes before the center stacks have fully released the road, the tunnel trio becomes blocked instead of helpful.
- Mechanics
- The three domes are relay pieces that only work once the chamber above them has already passed traffic downward.
Frequently Asked Questions
What controls Car Sort Level 171?
The two tall center stacks control the board because the tunnel row and bottom docks cannot safely own the route until the chamber has fully released it.
Why do the lower lanes reopen in Level 171?
Because the chamber still uses the same road when a tunnel output or crate receiver closes too early.
