Robot Charli - Sol Newborough, Victoria, Australia
By kryslazz on 17-Apr-18. Waypoint GC7NWGR

Its with a sad an heavy heart ive decided, Chari has ran his course. In hindsight.... placement should have been better and away from so many Muggle homesteads. Maintenance is too much for me to keep up with as time with Miss 2 takes priority. Its been an awesome ride mate, we achieved amazing things together. Rest easy with the Caching gods my friend. x

At some point, Kryslazz will be back in the caching world with much better placements and long term maintainable caches.

Had no joy here so another reason to return. Thanks for the hunt kryslazz

Knight_shift went home after lunch, but I couldn't resist trying for a few more caches.
Due to our high failure rate on this series, I only spent a short time at each stop, using the hint to guide me. There were several DNFs, but this is one I found.
Thanks kryslazz.

Another clever puzzle in this very challenging series, but very satisfying to work out the solving method and get the green tick. While these were solved a while ago now, I’m still determined to finish the geoart even if it’s not all in one day. Thanks for some safe parking at this one. Cache found in good condition. Thanks for the challenge.

Apologies for the generic log. Found over a year ago with SirJ-Oz on a trip to Gippsland for the Rockwiz series, Robot Charli and a few assorted others. A busy day with 39 finds and several DNFs thrown in too. Thanks for the puzzles kryslazz which passed some time during lockdown as we worked through them all and for the cache we picked up this pleasant visit. Sorry to see this one has been archived since our visit.

Find #4919. Found @ 16:02 with Annoying Tarbit

After many virtual puzzle solving evenings over lockdown Annoying Tarbit and I have solved lots of puzzles in and around the Moe area, so an outing was planned for today to collect on some of the geo-art puzzles, and some others along the way.

A reasonably quick find was made here.

Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.
Thanks for the cache kryslazz

I was glad I had my walking stick with me for this search. I looked in among the trees but it took some prodding with the pole in a few places before I heard a sound not quite natural in an area I wouldn’t have looked because it looked totally untouched by human hand. The vegetation had grown over the hiding location, covering it seamlessly. Quite tricky.

Another one that we could do ourselves. This was a nice easy find also. Thanks for the puzzle and the cache.

This will probably be the last one we manage to get for the day but we will be back. Thanks for this series, both the puzzles and the caches themselves.

Omegaman asked ahomburg and myself if we wished to come and find this series. So I set about looking at the puzzles in the lead up. In the end a great day was had collecting the caches. Thanks for placing the cache kryslazz and for the puzzles.

Headed out on this beautiful summers day with beckNmonts and omegaman1971 with the main focus being the Robot Charlie series and a few other nearby puzzles and multi's. Sadly the day finished with quite a lot of DNF's (Not through lack of trying) and an incomplete Robot Charlie.


Many thanks to kryslazz for the cache. TNLN.

Big things are continuing to happen! *Are you joining the fun again in 2020?*

Out and about in the area with BeckNmonts and Ahomburg to tackle the local geoart and put a few smiles on the map.
The day was full of laughter and many awesome hides, unfortunately we did have some DNF's.
A few of the caches had some fun containers and interesting themes.

The puzzle was a bit of a challenge but once I twigged, it all fell into place. Thanks for anoth brain stretcher Kryslazz and worth a favourite from me.

At 3 separate times I have collected various Robot Charli caches, but only now getting around to logging them.

This is certainly a terrific series to do.

Thank you kryslazz for designing and placing this series for our enjoyment.

Catching up with late logs

We really enjoyed working our way through these puzzles, some of them were exceptionally clever and we've had the corrected co ordinates for quite awhile and today we were finally going to head down and try our luck with Alansee and Micaparamedic. Fortunately Alansee mentioned there had to be a few changes to allow for the shifted caches and we were able to sort this out on the drive down.

We found all that we searched for except for the Great Race and with parking at a premium in some places we were happy that we were only in one car today and as the cache pages say some of the caches require a bit of walking after parking the car.

To save rooms with the smaller logs we used the acronym MATC.

Unfortunately picking up other caches as we went today we didn't find them all so we will have to return another day to do that.

Thanks kryslazz for an enjoyable series.

Found with Team Crackers and Micaparamedic today. A quick solve.

With the Mega now over it was time for one of the FurfacesLL team to return home for work and the other one to soldier on with Rapidlywild. Also visiting friends around the area on the down days when RW was busy.

Well a clear day for a change so we went to collect the Robot Charli series. Can't take any credit on these RW did all the hard work solving these as we were actually off traveling overseas trying to solve their puzzles. So today we rewarded her extra gray hairs with smileys.

Thanks for the hide and puzzle and bringing them back to life kryslazz and thanks to Rapidlywild for the company and caching adventure.

Sorry for the generic logs.

The Mega had been and gone however myself and FFLL#1 were staying on for another week with some other commitments. I had a charity Gala dinner to attend to on the Saturday following the Mega so it only made sense to stay on in Victoria. We were staying out Gippsland way so we had targeted Robot Charli and a couple other series to do, however the weather decided to go against us and we did not get all that were planned. It doesnt matter, we still got a fair few done in the time we were here. Once it was time to start heading home, we went via Albury to pick up some more puzzles of which we had solved.

Well it was time to get out and clean up Robot Charli. I was one of the early solvers of this series, I earnt myself MANY grey hairs solving this guy and I was super upset when he got archived.... But he was resurrected, and in time for us to come collect him!!! The puzzles ranged from easy to super hard, truely was a series for all the puzzle solvers! Apologies for the generic logs, its been a massive week with the Mega (bike riding and lots of walking) and then this series soon after, the legs were feeling it thats for sure.

Thanks for the cache hide kryslazz and the ladies of FurfacesLL for another great caching adventure away from home

It was great to see Robot Charlie come back on line and give us the opportunity to go out to search the final locations.
With Roostaman arriving from places afar to the area on his way to the Parkville Mega, it was time to team up once gain with RebelActs for an attempt on the series and some of the caches we had still not found in Moe. Today we were also joined by KI Bug in the hunt so a fun-filled day was definitely in store!
Credit to Rebel who was the key to the puzzle solving and had put in many hours over quite some time to finally achieve success to unlock the series.
A plan was hatched to meet and head out. We came across a variety of hides with some interesting twists in widely differing locations. Some easily accessed and others more challenging.
There was much by-play throughout the day, mostly seeming to centre round ‘organization’ and the need for GSAK, despite the fact it won’t run on IOS! There were caches missing logs, only to find the log-overlooked within the cache! We discovered ‘Emergendy logs!!!’, a new terminology that was embraced and will be a common thread in conversation from now on! The biggest disagreement was over the lunch venue, with Rebel detailing the pluses and minuses of McDonalds over Hungry Jacks!
All in all, a great day out touring the local area with much fun had by all.
Thank you for the series Kryslazz.

I was asked if I would like to join some mad “oldies” (a cheeky farmer’s description of us on the day!) on a day’s geocaching in the Moe area, mainly focusing on the Robot Charlie series. Having not been in fine geocaching form over recent months I was a little concerned that my physical participation may have been limited however I jumped at the chance. Consequently Mr K.I. bug joined an amazing outing with Mr SkiPair, RoostaMan and Rebel Acts. It was a day full of friendly barbs and jokes and a great example of how much fun can be had geocaching with great company.
Thanks must go to the other members of the “team” who completed a lot of “solving” and organized the adventure.
We hit the ground running (well sort of!) and successfully found a cache every few minutes in a combined effort. We went at a fast pace, not stopping until late lunch time and I must admit that on occasions I was the “provider of the pen” rather the member who scaled the cliff or whatever else was required however I was very pleased with my effort on the day. Consequently it looks like more geocaching will be coming up!
Although there were a good variety of hides with some requiring a walk, all were generally found quite quickly. What else, with such an experienced team! We did have to provide a couple of “emergency logs” where they had disappeared.

Another puzzling cache that we enjoyed completing - thanks for your caches and fun kryslazz,

**# 23186** Found on a drive around Moe while visiting nearby.
A great day on the trails with Rebel Acts, Ski Pair & K I Bug.
All good safe hides and many quick finds.
Thanks for the cache kryslazz,
***Roostaman***

Ready to go. No changes made from the original.

RIP

Cache unarchived to facilitate adjustment and/or relocation due to an issue associated with local residents.

### **PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LOCATE/LOG THIS CACHE UNTIL IT HAS BEEN ENABLED BY THE CO.**###

*Found whilst on a Robot Charli cleanup*

Out and about with The Empire.

One of the many caches we found but was unable to log them until they were enabled again.

No issues with the first few. It was only later that we had some issues as we found ourselves too close to some peoples properties for their liking.
Some ordinary hides in some ordinary locations. It seems that the new hides have rectified this.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache anyway kryslazz.

Stamped and returned as found...

Found by The Empire with Snap Happy
The plan was to cruise through Moe, pick up the caches in the Robot Charli series, then off to Foster for the night. We had missed this section of the trail and were able to 'back track' a bit to make some quick finds. The road was busy and it was tricky to pull over close to cache locations. We found these three pretty quickly. Thanks for the cache and the series kryslazz.

Visti Moe for caching day on my day off. Puzzle solved. Nice and found. Thanks kryslazz for placing the cache. And I did enjoyed myself at your Robot Charli workshop the other day.

I was out today with Biggles Bear to concentrate on finding as many as we could of the Robot Charli caches that we had solutions for. No problems on the find. Couldn't say the same for the puzzle.



Thanks to kryslazz for the cache.

Found 11:24:00 AM, during our June Caching day out with Muzza.

TNLN, thanks kryslazz (F=1021 H=52).

Found by Mary & David at 1342. And old sol is shining brightly. We were definitely not up at 5am to see the blood moon though. Our thanks to kryslazz.

Out visiting Robot Charli Series with Crank1. Thanks kryslass for the fun puzzles, caches and brilliant workshop. Keep up the awesome work you have put in for us to enjoy. A quick find here. Thanks!

Pwala and myself visited Robot Charli series today. I loves kryslazz's puzzles which give me more determine with it.
Quickly found it
Thanks for the cache kryslazz

Solved the puzzle at the workshop very clever tftc

I loved this puzzle it promoted me to ask the CO " how do you think this stuff up". I never would have solved it without her help. Something are so obvious when you know the answer lol. The hide was a bit elusive but we had it in a few minutes.

I will admit that I got a hint for this puzzle off another team that I sometimes bounce ideas off. They didn't think it was the right solution, but I took there idea, and was able to work it thru to the solution.

For people still looking or the solution, here are a few things that you don't want to try.
On Earth, a 24 hour period is called a day.
A Mars, a 24 hours, 39 minutes period is called a "Sol".
This puzzle has nothing to do with Mars. 24 hours of research wasted.

Wife the wife and daughter training together in the morning, I had the morning to myself. With not only some Charli FTFs available, but the chance to completely finish the enjoyable Robot Charli series, I was up before dawn getting ready and was on the road before dawn. It was a foggy morning, with the dawning sun just trying to poke thru.

This cache was quickly found in the obvious place. Looks like a creature is living here, with scat on top on the container.

Thanks for the cache Krys Lazz

FTF slowly been working through this puzzle series, pulling My hair out along the way guessing what the CO is thinking, this one finally aligned with a time slot to chase an FTF before work. Thanks for the cache will come find the rest when I have a bit more free time.
