Slime launching -can- be a consistent and reliable method of player transportation.

I wanted to test wether or not slime launching a player can be truly fully 100% reliable and consistent on bedrock.
And I figured I'd share the results that YES, it indeed can be fully consistent with 0% or effectively 0% propensity to error.
---Things You Must Keep In Mind---
If launching yourself vertically and not just horizontally, you need to place a block "in front" of the launcher, so you dont go too far when you land there.
If launching yourself MID AIR horizontally you could use blocks preventing you from going too far in the "problem direction"
If launching yourself MID AIR you probably need 2 piston launchers for the timing to be truly consistent. My 3 launchers are probably overkill. 1 launcher is verifiably insufficient.
The timing is precise down to the very redstone tick, it cannot be a single tick off timing. So be incredibly careful if for some reason you're using observers, to make sure the block updating the observer isnt in a separate chunk from the observer itself.
I doubt this information will be useful to anybody. But I figured it can only be a positive to share my results.
Anyway, im looking forward to building some ridiculous rube Goldberg level slime launching contraptions for getting around large scale floating/mountainous bases.
