Thanks,I just wasted an hour.I need a life.
Argh! . Like I didn't have enough online addictions. I'm a Mechanical Drafter too. It's like I have no choice but to make it work.:punchballs:
I got past Mission to Mars, but it's bed time. I'll try to get farther tomorrow.
I'm stuck on "tube" I have had a little luck getting "some" traction up the walls, but not enough. And when I do, my contraption is unstable and tilts to one direction or the other and falls through. I have noticed on the lower left wall there is a slight protrusion... but I have yet to be able to get any help from it yet.
Wow, this is addicting. Here is my design for Big Ball:

Four balls was a PITA...I tried a cart, a conveyor belt, finally a rotor worked:

Awash wasn't that hard...just needed a front bumper, lots of thrust, tracks, and a shovel, LOL...

Tube was difficult, but it turned out to be not as nearly hard as Four Balls:

BackAndForth...Serious PITA...
http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=3433095
Unpossible wasn't IMpossible, but it took three hours...

U-Turn was easy!

Well thanks, now I'm up past my bedtime. Anyway I made past up-the-stairs so far. I'm too tired to think right now, though. Pretty fun.
This game has been one of my favrites for years:

Just an observation.. Comments appreciated
I notice of the people on the site that have found this interesting, addicting, amusing (whatever their reason)…. The youngest listed is 29, so were looking at about 30+ years of age.
Why is that?
BTW
STILL stuck on “Tube” :punchballs:
Rather interesting. I'm kinda stuck on mission to mars but have an idea for it though. Oh and you can change the youngest age to 20.:tg:
There's no machine guns, explosions or car creashes. That's why.
Just keep flailing around, an a working solution will hit you sooner or later. ;)
Make a ring of the clockwise balls around the ball and connect them with sticks. then zig zag as much stick as you can to get a long enough lenth so when it swings out it will reach the pink
I think I just spent 3 an a half hours on this thing!
I figured it out like 5 mins after I posted that. I'm on Handling right now.
EDIT-Figured out handling. http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=3482431

My work has it blocked!!!
up the stairs sucks
got it
there's two I cant get. Handiling and down under. I got all the others.
I'm currently working on 'back and forth' I've been going in order without looking at any other's contraptions. But after making it work, I look at some of the other's, and I'm thinking I'm just a dunce, lol.
kind of reminds me of "THE INCREDIBLE MACHINE" that my brother let me play on his computer about 10 years ago, lol
I have this one saved under my favorites....it's been there for a couple of months.....I don't get to it too often though. It's fun as hell.
as to my previous post....case in point.

their's: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=3539374
translate this to my car, it would work, but weigh about 1500 lbs. heavier, lol.
LOL, this game reminds me of another I used to play a long time ago.... back in DOS days... Super Solvers: Gizmos and Gadgets (http://"http://www.classic-pc-games.com/pc/educational/super_solvers:_gizmos_and_gadgets.html")!! That game was awesome :hick:
Yup, I'm addicted. Thanks ya jerk... :D So far I've finished all but the last two. Does anyone have solutions for those yet? In an unrelated note, "Braid" on xbox 360 requires the same kind of thinking and is another addictive game.
Most addicting game ever. I have solved all the puzzles now. Here is mine for Unpossible http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=3496108

Here is mine for Unpossible http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=3473615
Looks like we had pretty similar solutions.
I’ve completed them all. It’s amazing to look at what I have done then to look at others and see how simple they COULD have been. A good example is this one for Tube
http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=3584957 (http://"http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=3584957")
I was trying to do this but I had the slope the wrong way (wheel on the left lower than the wheel on the right) not making use of the small radius on the right had side.
I had an elevator design for that one too. http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=3461405
I've got them all done too. Unpossible: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=3550409

Love the chain drive ramp extention!!!!:bowdown: :bowdown:
I tend to like simple solutions. This was mine for big ball:
http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=3602101
I've been trying alternate solutions for all of them.
http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=3603071
Im trying them over again with different solutions too.

Need another game like this now
$10 and you can play a whole lot more levels. I guess some of the custom levels made by other players are insane.
Might have to do that friday
