R-bot Tricks Demo IV

Fourth demo! Refer to the previous three for more tricks.

In this demo you’ll learn about:-

• How to manually bend an R-bot
• Three ways R can squeeze through a 1-block tunnel
• Two mechanisms which force R to walk between two grids
• How to enable R to walk in all (8) directions
• Ball-on-wedge descent trick
• Another new way to manipulate R-stopper
• The Headbanger pushing trick
• How to jump using an R-bot

In order of occurrence:

1. Slippery Ball — Gently push the embedded draggable to the right. The ball would spin and cause R to bend his body.
First deployed by @Muslim Arizzy in R-Botz Alone, this is a combination of

• the Bender Bot trick in @vince ’s level Creep; and
• the Vibrating Floor trick in @Jesson ’s level Opposing Drag-a-ball.

2. Rail Ceiling — R steps onto the inset staircases (which lowers his body) and squeezes his head under the rails.
First posted by @Nick Tesla in Impractical Ways.

3. Narrow Staircase — Teleport R using the embedded draggable. R then continues to squeeze himself up along the wedges.
First posted by @Nick Tesla in Impractical Ways. The improved Teleport Button is posted by @cpw here.

Spoiler: Note for Creators

Note that the new teleport button is orientation-specific -- Although it is fully stable, some orientations may not work.

4. Slider Dive — R steps onto the vertical slider and gets sucked into it. He then dives into the tunnel.
First discovered by @cpw in Mind Your Head II.

Spoiler: Note for Creators

Note that the slider path is orientation-specific -- Although it is fully stable, some orientations may not work.

5. Midline Walk

• Turn the zapper to the left, then drag R to the right. R would continue to move forward, but the zapper (which occupies half a grid) causes R to walk between two grids.
• You may also skip the zapper switch and simply hold the draggable motor in-between.

Originally discovered by @cpw in a Cool Kids discussion while @richardfu_ added the door idea, and was subsequently deployed by @Cool_Kids in Free Roam. @Frenzies later came up with a more compact mechanism using a draggable motor only.

Spoiler: Note for Creators

The underground zappers are required to make the stairs walkable.

6. Eight Directions — Similar to @meko ’s Five Directions, this mechanism uses a draggable pendulum instead of a motor. This enables the draggable to stop at any directions. R then walks diagonally to the opposite grass block.
Originally developed by @cpw in a Cool Kids discussion, and was subsequently deployed by @Cool_Kids in Free Roam.

7. Ball-on-wedge descent — R steps onto the wedge and is displaced by the ball. He then continues to walk forward and falls off the wedge. This is a stable variant of the Ball-on-stairs trick from the 2nd Demo.
First posted by @cpw in this demo.

Spoiler: Note for Creators

The underground zapper is required to make the wedge walkable.

8. R-stopper (Helper R) — R tries to squeeze himself under the wedge. As he occupies the space underneath, the tall R-bot unfreezes and turns around.
First posted by @cpw in this demo (in fact it was discovered in the creation process ).

9. Headbanger — As the tall R approaches, the sideway motor causes him to bend. He then bangs his head to remove the obstacle.
First discovered by @Block builder in Tomb of Mr. Ward.

10. R-bot Jump button — Move B onto Tall R’s head and quickly lift the draggable. B would jump and land on the Win.
First realized by @Frenzies and is built by @cpw in a Cool Kids discussion, and first published in this demo.

@Block builder I also just updated the reference of #10 as it was first noticed by @Frenzies in my legacy first level (Mind Your Head). Then I built it with his idea in mind

Awesome demo []! The explanations and references were very detailed, yet short enough that people won't get bored while reading it; I wonder how long it took you to write that (around 1 hour and 40 minutes ).

@richardfu_ Finally someone commented on the water! Been adding it since the 1st demo to make it look more appealing.

@cpw The water reminds me of @LarsH's Tiles level

@Block builder About R falling on the Eight Directions trick, that happens if you swing the draggable and let it move on its momentum. If you hold it the whole time, R will stay on it.
