I made this to make moving the turtle easier.

Am I right that it detects the stone pressure plates?
And then replaces the old pressure plate?
What if there were multiple?
What if.. I would put one next to it one block lower?
What if I would put one next to it two blocks lower?

Answer these questions, then I am sure it's not a fake.
Can you show the code?

1. It doesn't detect preasure plates, that's impossible.
2. It does replace the old one. otherwise I couldn't make a loop.
3. It will check for blocks in this order:front, left, right, down and front, down and left, down and right.
4. As you can see in the video that works.
5. then it wil do all the checks and stop the program.

I'm going to try to make it better and then I might release it.

So I guess it checks for any block? And powering it by redstone causes it to elevate?

Yes, if there was a way to detect blocks the redstone wouldn't be needed, but now I will have to do it like this.

Neat, I just had the same idea.

Just make a trail of redstone with a torch in the end.

Useful when you want to position your turtle quickly.
