  • UPDATE: It seems that the pathfinding has been changed since I made this video. The trap still works but it's much harder to get it in. Best advice I can give is don't go too far ahead of the trap, keep the rex close to you.
    Need a quick and cheap Rex trap? Look no further. This Rex trap can be set up really easily and is super simple to use!

      Can confirm this. Tried for about 20 minutes to get the Rex to go into the trap, but it just kept going around the trap instead. Tried different distances from the rex as well. Biting the feathers on my argies hind-end, and comfortably standing behind the trap waiting. Both ended with the rex going AROUND the trap.

      I tried this one for the second time last night and was having trouble leading it in with the argy flying slow and close to the ground and even hovering over the trap waiting for him and it kept going around. What did finally work was having the argy walking him in. I had the argy sitting between the two little walls and the rex was chomping on my butt a few seconds and when he bumped me through he followed and got himself stuck. Both times I've used this trap it's worked perfectly once the rex is in it. Just takes a little fiddling around to get them in, but with how cheap and simple it is to set up I think that's a reasonable price to pay.

    I watched the first stream you did, trying to figure out how to build a Rex trap, and I've gained a new level of appreciation for the work you do.
    There were soooo many solutions, but you rejected them all because they weren't simple enough, or had moving parts, or used too many different types of structures.
    Your commitment to simplicity and elegance is inspiring! ❤
