I think I know how to solve this one but I was out of town and it's extremely mobile unfriendly. Now that I'm home and can print it out it feels like it's going to be a chore to dive back into it.

Beamed, solo. I even thought I understood the mechanism, but then something happened at the very end.

It's not "GOOD STIFF BELT OF SCOTCH" is it?
Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.

beamed with considerable Discord (and Aaron) help, awaiting the sticking of the landing on the pad next to the parallel bars in the gymnasium full of other competing athletes trying to show off their prowess in a variety of olympian tasks
EDIT: streak of 23 is alive!!!

I got there with a little help. Like others, I don’t fully understand the mechanism, but done is done.
EDIT: Ohhhhhhh. I just figured out the mechanism.

Beamed up yesterday. Anxiously waiting the reveal, since my mechanism didn't fully work as I thought it should.

Struggled mightily with the grid on Saturday, finally came back to it today and believe I have figured out the meta. Waiting for the beam now, but feeling confident in my answer. I had a strong suspicion of what the answer might be and managed to get exactly that answer in a way that makes sense with one small divergence, but not big enough to make me question that this is the right answer.

Got it I'm pretty confident.
But man, was it complicated!
I get the mechanism, but I have one REALLY big complaint (unless there is another way to get the result.... or unless I'm dead wrong)

Funny story. I was all set to enter Par for the course for the CrossHare midi contest for April but I mistakenly thought midi meant 7x 7 and not 11 x 11. Oops. Well.... Here's a complex but **small** meta on the subject of golf.

Got this one tonight also! I'm on a roll. I did indeed do what is suggested.

Well, I am waiting for the reveal because I see no consistent way to get to the answer even though I got to the answer. I am sure there is one, just because there always is, cannot wait.
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do.

Well, I think I can forget having a perfect year 
Even trying to write up a nudge request isn't getting me anywhere.

@DrTom I'm with you. I'm on the board but can't see a clear path to the meta.
