1000-amps
I haven't been playing for very long, and am already stuck. This seems like a bad sign.
I can jump to the sides and touch the nodes, but instantly fall through the floor and lose my progress. Without the charge I don't have enough height on my jump to get through the ceiling.
What am I missing? Is there some logical way to do this? Or does it just require more dexterity for the "Jump and back again" than I possess?
Early in the game, you will encounter a room with a large machine in it. Plug into it, and the teleport ability is unlocked.
To teleport you click on your desired location. This requires at least one energy block in the current room to have been activated. Be aware that when you teleport all blocks in the adjacent squares to your starting position will be deactivated - including energy blocks.
The enemies (the game calls them "pests") get easier to deal with after you get one of the four upgrades. So, you can skip some rooms and come back to them later. Or, the best strategy I've found so far is to just come into the room and quickly (generally by teleporting) try to turn on all the lights.

Touch the filled in blocks (energy blocks) on each side, then you get enough jump height to get out of the room.
Jump left, touch both energy blocks, and get back to the middle "platform", jump right, touch both energy blocks. Done.
