Teleporting is a scheme in which the premise is that with only 10 seconds of turn time you must teleport (only to crates) fast, wisely and carefully and attack/protect many times (due to multishot) from the same spots the crates spawned on a big terrain map which supports a lot of worms and the super weapons that sometimes appear in the crates.

Game rules
- Take at least 1 crate before any other action, i. e., 1 crate before attack or even before using some weapon in a defensive manner.
- The Teleport must be used only to go into a crate location. Whenever you're using it, your worm must respawn and grab a crate. If you miss it, that teleportation is not valid, it must be repeated until the worm takes the crate.
Gameplay example
Your turn begins. You'll have 3 crates available. Think carefully about which one to pick up (and the order of these collects), if not all of these, because the worms will be anchored to the place where you are using teleport.
To take full advantage of your 10 seconds, be quick in your moves. If you do it well, it will be enough to collect the 3 crates and even to carry out several attacks... Moreover, to perform some defensive action (with girders for example)... Taking full advantage of RubberWorm features (sdet + usw + ldet).
Strategies
Think well the order and how many crates you will get
The crate in the most dangerous position shouldn't be the last crate you will teleport, otherwise you will stay in a dangerous position and sometimes you will not be able to attack a worm.
Dropping and teleporting
Dropping weapons like a Dynamite or a Ming Vase can cause a lot of damage to the worm you are controlling. So, teleporting right after the drop can be very useful.
Tips and tricks
Activating cursor weapons with space bar
Weapons that use the mouse cursor such as the teleport, homing and air strike-like weapons sometimes don't work exactly in the momment they are clicked (for example, when you click while the worm being controled is sliding). A good way to deal with this situation is just pressing space bar when the worm you are controlling stops sliding. This way you can save time and don't need to point with the cursor again.
History
The scheme was created by sbs and released on 27 December 2017 along with a roller coaster map on WMDB and also on a page of LeTotalKiller's Scheme Editor website. Teleporting is very similar and was created based on a scheme known as "Teleport Shopper". There are a couple of schemes which use this concept of teleporting to crates with rules in worms community.
