It's like crack!

Those are both great. Again, it's a direction of thought that I wouldn't have thought of. It's amazing how different folks can come up with so many variations to solve the same problem.

Working with these things reminds me of Pitagora Suicchi!. Some are more complicated than others, but all are entertaining. There are more listed under 'related videos'.

 

thanks

It's ALIVE!!!

I'm really quite proud of this one.

 

You should be!! That was fantastic. :thumbup:

 

Oh wow...

 

Woah!

That was truly epic.

 

As well you should be! That is just flat-out cool.

This level is very, very silly in its easiness.


Vorak, that was pretty well amazing.

 

I admire your patience, DU. If it had been me, I would have assumed it wouldn't work, and moved on.

 

That was awesome. I couldn't figure out how to do that level... or tube... or any of the ones that couldn't be beat with a little martian rover, for that matter...

 

Have you tried turning the quality down? Makes a huge difference.

 

My latest victory: Super Tube Walker!!!

Sure, there are easier ways of doing things, but I like to think outside the box.

 

Easier indeed, I made it with three pieces, but this is much cooler than two wheels and a piece of wood.

 

It may seem unnecessarily, but would you consider making your contraption do something cool once it gets to the top? Don't ask what for it to do though; I've got no ideas on this one.

 

I set out to have one that works that simply takes forever.

If you've got like 3 minutes, this works: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1562872
