Yup.

I've been trying to find a minimal piece solution for Big Ball... haven't made much progress.

Ah..

It's hard to get something simple, yet fast for that stage.

Edit: This is the fastest I got:

most likely my favorite ever.

Well, building upon that, I managed to cut it down to 2 rods and 2 wheels.

Edit: Zomg 1 wheel. http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1536231

We should make a list of minimal solutions.

Here's a 3 rod, 1 cw 1 ccw solution to U-Turn.

I think there are glitchy ones that work but I can't find another way to drop to 2 rods.



Pretty easy ones too...

Reach Up with 1 rod and 1 cw.

that one is just like the one i made

I got all my roommates and friends addicted to this game now.

I started playing with the chain/crossbow design Mashi used for Junkyard:
Mission to Mars
Stairs - Running Start (I got annoyed at tanks)

Yet to see anyone beat this level this way:
Full-Up

I have no idea why this one works. I just started randomly putting things together.
Chaos Machine


Apparently I should never be an engineer, but I do come up with some interesting designs. Wish I'd saved some of my epic fails. One of them had me laughing so hard last night that I couldn't breathe.

Brought another down to 1 stick >_>

On A Roll:

Reach Up with 1 rod and 1 cw.
http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1540206

Minus the cw
http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1562582

The rest I either couldn't optimize or didn't bother to try.

I'm playing with the three Water Bars on a wheel thing, and got this to for U-Turn. :>
http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1565934

Any ideas on how I could make it 'cleaner', while still relying on the jumpy wheels to work? D:

4 rods, 2 cw
http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1567966
(It's so good it's almost half glitching )

Tube, 2 rods, 1 cw, 1 ccw

You mean like this, or do you want to keep the box contraption surrounding the red ball? :x

http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1579652

I was attempting to do something that wouldn't work, but was an entertaining idea in my head, so I tried to make it anyway, and I broke it.

The ramp kept buckling, and I tried adding the supports upward to the flipper... and everything collapsed. :F6:

Edit: Through stealing several ideas, I made a Four Balls I like. Perfect shot for each one.

This one won above all those ones that tried to keep the glitch caged. Because he not only used te glitch but also kept it together lol
