Spoiler: Tutorial video

In order of occurrence:

1. Disruptor Stairs

Spoiler

1.1 A fully automatic version of the Mini Climb (see the 1st demo). Eyes / zappers are half-sunken and therefore exert extra pressure on the bot underneath, disrupting R’s height detection momentarily.

1.2 Due to the disruption, R would treat the path in front as a dead end. This creates a walkable tile that repels incoming R-bots from a specific direction.

• Both inspired by an unintentional glitch in Vessel by @Ricko . The fully stable setup using an overhead zapper is first published in The Betrayal by @cpw .

2. Tiptoe freeze / climb

Spoiler

2.1 An extension of @richardfu_ ’s Tiptoe trick (see the 3rd demo). Stacking two upward staircases would freeze an incoming R while extending his legs.

• First published in Tiptoe by @cpw .

2.2 The extension allows one to insert another object under the bot to lift him up. Another R-bot can also support the frozen R from beneath. Note that the sunken zapper is required to lower the incoming R.

3. Disruptor Stairs (manual)

Spoiler

The manual version of 1.2. The nearby draggable, when activated, disrupts R as he passes by, forcing him to turn away.

• First discovered in World is Round? by @Block builder as an alternative solution.

4. Slight Delay

Spoiler

R’s slow movement causes him to lag behind and chase the slider.

• First published in Slight Delay by @Block builder .

5. Slider Fall

Spoiler

5.1 R is unable to detect the removed draggable after the downward staircase, which causes him to fall.

• First published in City Park by @Ricko .

5.2 (Not a recommended trick) In the alternative path, pull down the lift when R is halfway between the stone block and the draggable. With the right timing, R would fall down. Not recommended due to the picky timing and the non-specificity of its application, i.e. it could ruin a lot of existing levels.

6. Bender Bot (motor switch)

Spoiler

A manual version of @vince ’s Bender Bot trick (see the 1st demo).

• First published in this demo.

7. Stairway to Heaven

Spoiler

Inspired by @PvB ’s Wall Climber B trick, this is a similar stunt specifically designed for R. Note that it is only consistent with a pillar R and can be difficult to stabilize.

• First published in the Discord server by @cpw .

Thanks everyone! And good to see that no one is interested in that alternative evil trick for #5. That could break a lot of R puzzles......

@richardfu_ Yes, should have named it Slight Annoyance......

@Block builder And yes, that basically means any R can fall as long as there's a draggable on the edge. Takes some considerable effort to nail the timing, but definitely could be abused almost everywhere......

Roooooh... That last trick is always such amazing and I think you've find a way to make it more stabilized (with the motor). Thanks for this great collection of tricks!

@Qudion @Gepeto Thanks!

@TR O Yes, nice name isn't it?
