Octopus Overlords

I finally got my ring conveyor belt to work for Mission to Mars.

What I found more amusing than the actual solution, though, was the fact that if you fail, the ring eventually picks up enough speed to break down completely. (Just keep watching the following link even after the red ball fails to reach the goal.)

DUDE!

You broke the game!

You built a Large Hadron Collider!

Not mine, but awesome.

I can't believe that thing actually made it. I just kept watching expecting it to be thrown asunder.

I can't beat Down Under

And it got me inspired...

Down Under Candy From a Baby

Look for the Baby Cart, Lollipop, and fishing Pole as the Baby Cart drops to its doom...
(glaring look from chaosfaerie)
What?

Oh come on, that's FUNNY

My Awash - http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1509243" target="_blank

So has anyone sprung the $10 for the full version yet?

So happy. Beat Down Under without looking at anyone elses design.

Man you guys get complicated.

Simplicity at work.

wall - evil knieval
on a roll -unicycle
higher - slam dunk
around the bend - bank shot
big ball - surf
junkyard - dukes hazzard
up the stairs - chopper
four ball pinwheel

Last night, my son and I had a blast with this. We tried out bizarre contraptions and pulled them apart and rebuilt... thanks for posting this, we had an awesome time

Very nice! (check my son's "Bank Shot" for Around the Corner)

Yeah, that was a good one for simplicity: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1345231" target="_blank

Finally got my Awash working well (lots of minor tweaks along the way

Wow, I don't check other people's until I take a stab at it, but that looks almost identical to mine! I had toyed with making my nose rigid, but it never seemed to work and the lose piece actually seemed to make mine go faster in testing.

Now I want to go back and look at other solutions and see if anyone didn't make some type of mole/plow system...

Edit: I'm not saying you copied mine...you've had the results up for a while...just saying they look similar

Last level was easy. Unpossible has me stumped, but I have a few idea I am going to try today. Is it bad that I dreamt about solutions.

Didn't you see my original? The Lil Engine that almost DIDN'T?

I was tweaking the cowcatcher over and over

Very inspired!

Ramp. Ramp and crawler. After my handling sled, tying it off is next.

I keep thinking about the multiple machines from big ball and stairs etc

Holy crap! You win the thread.

After unlocking other designs, I was sad to see that most folks came up with a much simpler system (along the lines of this which took all of about 5 minutes to tweak to work, as opposed to the shenanigans I had to go through to get my comet launcher to work).

better then me. I have a design I'm trying to tweek, but just can't seem to get it quite right.

edit: Ok finally did it. I can sleep now. was trying to keep it as simple as possible.

My last level if anyone was curious
http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1578145" target="_blank

Holy carp luckily I didn't look at the spoiler you posted. Looks an awful lot like mine.

Just got my U-turn to work. http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1578749" target="_blank

A little tweaking would probably make it prettier.

That's really nice!

Even more fun is watching it get stuck after you beat it. Hit 'Back' and you can watch it keep going.

I posted the link on another board I visit and someone came up with this:

Trebuchet anyone? http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=1503684" target="_blank

Nothing can stop...The Tank

This isn't a very good design, but I wanted to make a putting machine.

Edit:

And a Molebot

Edit again:

Wanted to see if I could actually push the Giant Ball out of the way.

Edit 3rd time:

Power Mole Version 3

I finally got this one: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1602759" target="_blank

The Tube continues to defy me. I don't even want to think about Unpossible.

Nice. But my Jawa Crawler would give it a good fight.

I finally tweaked my bloody Unpossible into submission...

My son and I came up with a couple good ones for the Tube...
