Tutorial 1

This model is aimed at helping mekorama enthusiasts progress from beginner to advanced level.

For more tutorials, see here.

It includes several lessons, but first notice a number of challenges: there are no stairs for B to mount the elevator; the elevator doesn't go all the way to the top (it stops one block below the target block's level); and even if it did reach a block higher, there is no walkable path for B to reach the target.

Lesson 1 - B is claustrophobic in 2-block high spaces .
Raise the elevator, and send B directly under any block of the elevator platform. Try different starting/ending positions. Notice how he will go where you send him, but can't bear to stay under the low ceiling, and will take a step or two to find fresh air!

Lesson 2 - Who needs stairs?
Send B to stand next to the brick block (distance gives you time to work before he gets too close), and raise the elevator fully. Tap directly under any block of the elevator platform, and quickly lower the platform before he gets there. Notice how he climbs the platform to reach where you tapped, but then "falls off"! In fact he's trying to follow the same path that he would have before you put the elevator in his way - including even to the extent of his claustrophobic attack! To stop him from falling off, simply tap again somewhere on the platform - once he's on the platform. This will reset his trip navigator, and prevent his claustrophobic attack.

Lesson 3 - B can go where angels fear to tread.
Once B is on the elevator, send him to the half pillar block at the far end of the elevator (distance is your friend here, again). Tap the block underneath the target block (the brick block)... but quickly raise the elevator before B steps off onto the grass. Make sure your raise it as far as it will go. Notice how B climbs the one block height without steps, and then walks across a surface that he normally wouldn't be able to. Again, his trip navigator is trying to get him to where you set his destination, and in the end, he reaches the target block!

Summary
This autopilot trick (of setting a destination and then interfering with the route in some way) is the key to several exploits. But we'll look at those later with other models. Meantime, review how we have exploited it here: to climb where there are no steps; and to travel on hostile terrain.

oh thanks, looks like made for me tutorial 1 ... 1 sounds like there will follow others - how wonderful

ahhh ohhh Uuuuuuuhhhh - got it! I will do that again several times to fix it into my wrinkled braincells, till the next lession starts

@Sorella M. - you found it before i could tell you about it! Well done ... If you find it useful then i will certainly make some more.

Climbing Trick and Focus Trick...what's next?

@Frenzies It's a level that can be solved. What's the problem?

very helpful tutorial to get the tricks behind the scene

@Frenzies didn't have any problem to scan the QR-Code and I think, that card could go as a normal level, its a lot of text and hard to read by accident. Probably the tutorialtext needs to hide behind a spoilersign to get you happy again?

To my opinion if this card had be named something as "hop to heaven" or so with no tutorialtext in the comments, this puzzle would go as any other small level. For me as a miniadvanced beginner it would be impossible to solve it in minutes (as some other levels) so I wouldn't claim it as to small or to easy to be worth to be a normal level. The only aspect is the open tutorialtext.

Could it be, that the critic is based on another background - something of getting stars or likes? Would make me sad

Five stars for the explanations!

Thanks for the feedback, folks. I'll be sure to post some more tutorials then.

@trids can't await it because had some frustrating waterloos today (but some happyly checked cards too, because of strategychanging following your Tut1

That's an excellent Level. Thank you. Nice Lession
