Complete Test Chamber 10 in 70 seconds

This can be done easily enough, but will take some practice to nail down in under 70 seconds. Give it a few tries to get your pattern down and then make your run for it.If you did it with enough time remaining, when you drop the cube to open the exit, the achievement/trophy will pop. If you are using the chapter select to get to the chamber and you miss doing it in under 70 seconds, kill yourself using the laser and try again.

Remove something of course.Place a portal just outside the exit and then take the cube to the bottom and go through a portal to take the cube with you out of the chamber.

Bronze Trophy

Use an Aerial Faith Plate to launch a turret

The third achievement/trophy you can get in Chapter 2, chamber 6 requires you to nab the turret that gets released in the trash pile.The turret acts differently and more random as it goes through the portals so sometimes it will make it out and sometimes it will head right for the water.When you get the turret to land on solid ground, grab it and take it back to the beginning of the chamber. Drop it on the kicker- or the faith plate as they are called- and the reward is yours.

Schrodinger's Catch

20 Points
Bronze Trophy

Catch a blue-painted box before it touches the ground

In Chapter 6, you will come to a test chamber that has a glass case in the center of the room with a box inside it. To get this, you need to drop the propulsion gel on the box so it bounces and breaks the glass and then catch the box before it hits the ground.The easiest way I found was to drop the propulsion gel on it a bit at a time and then quickly drop water on it to stop it from bouncing.Keep repeating this until the box breaks the glass to create an opening and then jump and pull the box out.
