The Koala Rotisserie begins along the same familiar pathway as the basic Koala sequence, following it all the way to One-Legged Back Bird. From there, however, the sequence takes a different route.
The flyer rotates into Outside Star, followed by another step into Reverse Inside Star, just as in the Rotisserie. From there, the sequence returns to Koala, completing the cycle.
Bird is used only as the starting position for the first round. Once the washing machine is in motion, each new round begins with the transition from Side Star directly into Koala, allowing the sequence to continue as a continuous loop.
What happens when we blend two washing machines into one? A little Koala, a little Rotisserie—and we get the Koala Rotisserie!
This is the same sequence, just shared under a different name.
