It's like crack!

The only solutions I've seen for the "Mission to Mars" level involve either 1) A catapult-like machine or 2) Some kind of rotatory system like papa dog and myself used.

 

True. Though I believe that if Japes set his mind to it, he could probable come up with some sort of jumping spider zombie contraption.

 

Do you count this as a catapult?

And one of my facorite;

It's not a flinger nor a catapult. *applauds*

 

A couple of attempts on the same puzzle.

Papa dog, that first one is damn near identical to this one I posted before. Great minds....? OR PLAGARISM?

 

Uhm, I’ll go with great minds.

If there was plagiarism, it was wholly unintentional. Perhaps it was subconscious inspiration? I had forgotten that I had already seen your design until just now. That might be why I felt the need to design a second method.

I just remember having problems trying to get over the balls, so I started working on getting under them. I kept playing with angles and adding wheels and struts until it stopped getting pushed off the ledge. I finally had to add a single segment to the front to give the balls a small ‘toss’ up.

 

Another one. Been trying to simplify my designs, cut down on the unnecessary stuff.

 

My version of the tube. I thought it was going to be perpetual, but after the sixth or seventh time it couldn't catch itself.

Thought I'd never get it.

 

Here's my attempt. Thanks for the different level, Vorak.
