Various/Other Mekorama Exploits Research

Hello guys,the very reason for creating this thread is that sometimes when we come across a bug we research more and more on it to find all the details to use it as an exploit......but sometimes we miss a few......if you find a bug and think that can be used as an exploit.....and if you think there could be minor complications while using it as an exploit feel free to post it in this thread so that all of us can collectively research and develop the exploit for further use eliminating the complications as far as possible

 

Recently I came across an exploit on zappers in the level "The road not taken"(http://mekoramaforum.com/media/the-road-not-taken.3690/)......here...when the zappers were made horizental facing each other and B was made to walk on the combination such that it would take 2 turns just prior to stepping over the zappers....it didnot get zapped......in other cases it qould be...."the not getting zapped concept" is basically based on 2 facts
1)the bot taking 2 turns just prior to stepping on the zapper combination(which can be achieved by placing the bot in any of the side columns in the level "the road not taken"
2)Bending of the bot so that it walks on the base of the zapper when it is horizental. The bending is achieved by the taking of 2 turns just prior to stepping on the zappers.....so if the bending is restricted(by placing blocks near the places where the bot takes turns or at the side of the zapper combination(i.e a draggable placed at the side of the motor so that when the zappers are horizental the draggable faces up.....this narrows down the path for B forcing it to step into the zapper)the bot gets zapped else it would reach the other side safely walking ocer the horizental zapper combination.....
However,recently @nGord observed another case where the bot doesnot get zapped In this level when the bot is placed at any point behind the grass blocks on the right side and then tapped to move to the other side head on without taking any sharp turns.....it reaches there safely......this is an exception to my theory....if you come across any other exceptions you are most welcome to post a reply here...

 

Did you observe it in my level or in nGrod's

 

I had another doubt about sliders
Case-1)<=5 sliders attached to a draggable- Mechanism functions normal
Case-2)6 sliders attached to a draggable-Mechanism vibrates violently if the draggable is slightly displaced,within a range of 4 blocks
Case-3)>=7 sliders attached to a draggable-Mechanism disappears immidiately if the draggable is slightly displaced(this case was discovered by @Andi Ir Ir and used in his levels)
The numbers may slightly vary if the mass of the mechanism is large
Would this be helpful if included in the tutorials thread

 

Ha ha ha...another new discovery... If B steps onto the zapper of a zapper bot just before it begins to rotate.....then it doesnot get zapped for a very long time(i.e.until the zapper bot takes another turn) and can travel over the zapper bot safely....see this in action here(http://mekoramaforum.com/media/the-magical-pond.3704/ )REMEMBER-TIMING IS VERY VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!.....STEP ON IT JUST BEFORE IT STARTS TO ROTATE!!!.....play the level and rate it guys if you like it

 

It seems that the stunt can also be performed without water....but water seems to widen the time limit of stepping on the R bot.....so that the frequency of B getting zapped decreases very significantly

 

Oh....thank you for the information

 

This concept is also valid for 180° and 270° turns.....the zapper bot stops a short interval of time after each turn......for 180° turns step onto the bot immidiately after it stops after the 90° turn and for 270° turns step onto the bot immidiately after it stops after the 180° turn.....then the B bot can safely travel over the zapper bot until it takes a turn again

 

You may be right...but I just posted what I observed.........well lemme conduct some more experiments...... If your words prove to be correct I shall change the post but as far as computer programs are considered i always go with "No matter however random things may seem there is always a pattern"

 

The Case-2 of this post can be successfully used to teleport a bot through an obstracle for real....see this in action here(http://mekoramaforum.com/media/pass-through-walls.3733/)

 

@Sunny Sunset lol...cool names...and...THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE INFORMATION YOU HAVE SHARED!!!....

 

@Sunny Sunset THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH FOR SUPPORTING MY THEORY.... @richardfu_ after you posted the doubt I conducted a plethora of experiments and every time got the same result which is "water increases the 'not getting zapped' time period"......so now I am kind of confirmed that my theory is correct
