So close.. yet so far.

Also.. after I win I like to mess around and see what else works.

I still keep it simple, but.. different.

Hey look, 8 hours sleep and I'm back playing this!

Finally finished Big Ball, now I can go see if there is a less convoluted method than this one: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=205160

I am rather proud of it though.

I should get back to nature, too.  You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer.  Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached.  Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

You were pretty close, all you really needed to do was increase the size if your little box thingy, add some more wheels, and completely fucking break the collision detection.

here's my contribution.  Tried to do things without vehicles.... 

Down under:  http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=211301

Four Balls:  http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=210899

Back and forth:  http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=212390

Handling:  Ok, so I used a vehicle... sort of... http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=212173

My fave was probably Four Balls, took forever to get right.

Some of the brilliant solutions to handling I've seen:

3 Pieces, stays in the zone: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=147660

No power, stays in the zone: crap, I lost the link.

This is the best I've managed on Four Balls. http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=223629

I'm about 90% sure it can't go any smaller on this level. At one point, I got 3 balls with 3 pieces, but couldn't tweak it to get the last one.

I futzed with this one trying to finish it for a while... same basic instance.  http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=214781

Seems to be a limited trend, don't know how you make it happen tho...  Something about how the arms are attached to the wheel I think.

Bunk showed me this game and I have to admit it is pretty awesome.
I think the best part for me is that "doh, why didn't I think of that!" moment of seeing what other ingenious minds can come up with, cause I am a dumbass.

To that end I have created a level and wanted to see if any of you can come up with a solution to it.

For those of you looking for more variation or some greater limitations, there's Armadillo Run.  Similar idea; it's a download(win32 only) instead of flash, there's no 'wheel' element, the ball needs to stay in the (generally smaller) target area for a few seconds to qualify, and the pieces have a 'hardness' to them, that means under stress, they break.  Results in a bit more rigor required than in this flash game, where just any random wackiness will hold together, in Armadillo run, it breaks into pieces.  This can be a good thing, and all according to plan.  Often, though, not so much.

Also, parts cost 'money', and each level has a budget you need to beat to move on; your expenses are how the game is scored online.

If you register, you get more pre-made levels, and access to fan-made stuff.

This is weird, as it's the first time I've seen inconsistency in this game. I can definitely assure you that my solution above works on my home PC.
