Fanastic Contraption! - swirly - 10-06-2008
I seem obsessed with the Big Ball stage. I've done three different solutions.
Over: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=2583487
Under: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=2623971
Get There First: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=2630915 (I've been on a bit of a cannon kick today)
The under one is actually just a modification of my Awash contraption. I wanted to see if it would move the ball. Here is the original Awash one: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=2586452
This is pretty much the first successful design I came up with for Four Balls: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=2583479
For Unpossible I had previously seen somebody post a ramp version so I decided to be a bit different: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=2583468
Not my original Mission to Mars, but one that wasn't even meant to care about victory. I just wanted to play with building something to spin around the planet. I moved the pink ball up to the corner to get it out of my way and then it just happened to win easily: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=2623702

I think I did a fairly good job of this one:

Interesting solution to that one. I had a 4 wheeled gizmo that poked the ball off the top, then folded on itself to carry the object home.

Thanks, yours sounds way cooler looking though, do you still have it?:D

Swirly's version inspired me:
Go faster

Heh. I knew that a catapult of some sort could get it there fastest. I wanted to play with getting wheeled contraptions to move across the space faster by stacking them up.

Fun stuff! Here is a typical example of my design philosophy:

I do well with simple designs, but I had to cheat on tube.

http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=2680259
I actually got U-turn on the first try, but I just couldn't get Tube

I'd try to do levels multiple ways.
My favorite so far is "slowest pass of a level" with this design titled "stubborn"
http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=2509408 ~6 or 7 minutes to pass Junkyard.
I was having trouble with Four Balls so I tried some of your flywheel thingies:

Was just goofing around with different designs (mostly blatantly ripped off) and came up with this hilarious fail-win!.
Elegant? Not today, boi.
~Frag:D
Edit: I'm with Vor, making failing wins is a lot of fun. Here's a Champ win via car crash!:lol:
And the Daisy Flail!.
Edit2: Oops, apparently I can't copy off of the little bubble window ivia ctrl+c, just the right click window. Fixed.

All your links are the same one (which is a good one btw:)... but I think you intended to have some different stuff.
Fanastic Contraption! - VinnieJones - 10-07-2008
Errr, so yea....

Pretty neat how everyone has a different way of getting it done. This was what I came up with for the mind the gap level.. or whatever it was. I guess I think in terms of atvs.
http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=2707326
And I also like battering rams.

BTW, thanks, I now no longer have the little life I had.:)
I like tanks, a lot.
