    Strange, when I click that link it does work in under a minute, but when I originally set it up the triangle circles for like 2 minutes before it goes.....

    Now I wanna make more puzzles that take like 5 minutes to cycle.

    Also, not a long one but just amusing: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1566673

    You mean something cooler than falling halfway back down the tube and getting stuck? Cause I thought that was pretty cool.

    Did you make that beast of burden? Because I'm pretty sure that's the coolest thing I've seen in this game yet.

    Yeah, I really can't believe this. These inventions are amazing!

    I'm not sure if custom rankings are turned off for users above 1000 posts or whatever, but Jungle Japes deserves the ranking: "Fantastic Contraption King", or something more flavored.

    Just because one computer is better than another, don't necessarily mean that the greater computer had control of whether it was going to become better or not. It didn't necessarily choose, using free will, to be greater.

    Just a little thing to think about.

    I fucking refuse to let Garmgarf hijack another goddamn thread with his stupid insanity, let's get back to business here.

    Here is another cool design:

    http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1667513

    I had to take out some of the links in the conveyor to make it work better, the balls bounce a bit if there are holes in it. Thought, looking back, once I refined my design it would have probably worked with all the pieces in place anyway.

    It was so awesome I had to double check. All of my shit is purely technical, but you make weird shit that also somehow manages to get the job done while looking cool (except for the zombie, which you needed to add brains to somehow).

    And comparing a person to a computer is fucking stupid proving Vorak's point. Stop with your damned stoner psuedo-philosophies.

    Sorry... :'(

    My computer, for whatever reason, didn't seem to refresh the boards until after I posted that so I didn't see your comment above mine :-/

    Silvara, your machine here is one of the more creative solutions I've seen for this puzzle.

    Japes, the second one is way better, the first one just looks like he had a seizure and fell off a cliff (which, I guess, has it's own merits).

    Here are my latest attempts:

    Just a generic one.

    This one is cool, in addition to being a solution for this puzzle I've not seen yet, it also fucking breaks apart after it completes. Which is something I've not seen before, the blue piece literally breaks off from a yellow wheel. Just hit "back" real quick after it completes to see it.
