      You can include the effect where B's long legs saves him from Zappers in further tutorials. @Jomer discovered it; you can see it in his level Electric Chair. Balls on Zappers also have the same effect as Balls on eyes, where B jumps/is unstable after passing it. The ball should save B from getting Zapped. You can also make a tutorial based on the functions of R bots; like how it doesn't step on Metal Pillars, etc. Other strange things are that B can only step down from an Eye while R can only go up from an Eye. That mechanic and the ball-on-zapper aren't used, though (but the ball-on-eye is). Maybe they can be used in tutorials for level creators.

      @Frenzies - that all sounds great! I'm not familiar with some of it, though. How about setting up such a tutorial yourself? I would love to see these all in one level.

      @trids tap on metallblock directly?? when should I do that? it always appears with red cross. Only if if step onto R and let me bring some steps forward I can tap on the metallblocks now white circle. Or am I absolutley on the wrong track?
    • Frenzies
      @Sorella M. On step one, just wait for R to go near you and act as a bridge so you can step on to the other side, where the Metal block is.
    • Sorella M.
      @Frenzies thank you very much. I had a problem to understand some words, for example "inverted block" (to me it is in the meaning of changed color, but a little conversation with trids cleared, that the turned stepblocks are meant). Because of that I´m always on the wrong side walking (where the round metallblock is) because from there I can click the brickblock when R is between the grasblocks (which I understood as inverted). Complications because of lack of englishskills, sorry! (But a shortcut to the brickblock)

      Now I know, I have to go to the brown block, which is the metallicblock (gg) and than try the further parts of the lesson.
      Because I was with that own trick of mine on the brickblock in shortcut-way, I know, that I will have lots of problems from there on with lesson 3. To me till this moment it is there all about lot of stress to catch R in the right moment, leave him as well in the right moment and so on. Will be a training for weeks now??

      By the way: I´m a tutor for Indesign-Skills and therefore I know, that not the experts can do the tests in understanding a tutorial, but only the 0-knowers. Because the experts have to much knowledge in their head to find the not so clear explained parts in a turorial. But I really don´t complain that agains @trids who does a great job to help some beginners as me into the bigger shoes.

      proudly I can say, I made it 1 time to the goal alive, but this is out of a number of 50 trys, not really a skill, that I would discribe as learnt!

      Has somebody here a link to an easier level, where I could train to step on and off the R, to get a feeling or a rule or both? A level where is a bit more time between on and off? It seems that B isn't always in the same condition for concentrated steps, isn't he? that makes things worse

      Man, I should've started with this levels long time ago! Again, I think I had seen this happen in some way or another playing other levels, but bumping on these exploits by accident and then reading your explanations really make it all come together. Thanks!

      Took me multiple, multiple tries to master all of the steps but it was well worth it as I have since used my newly acquired skills on levels like I B-leeve by @Don G Rowe. Otherwise, I'd still be in that level forever being zapped and clicking the restart. So thank you!
