Eraser Bot route-table file included in .zip file

The title, Drop Zone, refers to an amusement park ride at Great America (Santa Clara, CA), and that all the floors in the level are accessible by dropping down from the top of the central atrium.  You might find a swim in the slime worthwhile if you can get in and out quickly enough.

Notes

This level is from the warehouse district of my unpublished 32/64-player deathmatch level, Aquaphobia, that I been working on-and-off since 1998.  I decided to create Drop Zone to get some working experience on a "finished" level and to break the boredom of finishing Aquaphobia (which I hope to finish someday).  It took six weeks to re-invent the warehouse district in Aquaphobia (~20% of the entire level), and another two weeks to finish Drop Zone as a separate level.
