my tank appears to not work in all situations.

omg, this is funny, I made a ferris wheel thing and it actually goes in the reverse direction of its wheels thats funny.

BTW, I thought you were referring to the current Woot-off, which had me up til 3 a.m. ("just one more item, then I'll go to bed" in case it was a BoC)

I'm stuck on "Up the Hump."
Edit: Nevermind, I built a tank that rolled over it pretty well. Now on to Mission to Mars.

Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
How'd you do Bigg Ball? I'm stuck there myself. I tried to create like a plow to scoop the ball up, but I can't lift it. Do you go over the top of the ball and move it out of the way?

Same here, and the BoC still hasn't come.
Posted by rollainm (Member # 8318) on :
Haha. That's pretty similar to the one I made to get past that one. I wish you could do a timed release to slingshot throw it.

Is anyone else beating EVERY mission with a tank? You'd think I could come up with some other way.

You know that you can attach links directly to each other without any circles, right?

Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
I've seen some pretty insane designs on that website for various things. People are freakishly good at designing some of those things. I saw one for Mission to mars that made a catapault that launched the little ball onto the opposite circle and got it to sit there by attaching wings to it.
I'm still stuck on Big Ball.

Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
I can get three of them in there, but the last one just stays on the little hill.
Edit: Huzzah! I finally tweaked it right. The design wasn't the hard part on that one, it was getting all the little wheels in just the right position to keep those little suckers moving.

This was my solution to Tube, there seem to be a lot of interesting variations made by other people.

Here is my design for Back and Forth. It's not a tank!
And here is my non-destructive plan for breaching the wall.

Working on these from home now, so I have to get back to where I was. Check out my over the hump. I had a bunch of good solutions, but I wanted to do a big square tank and get it over the hump. I love the way this thing looks when it moves: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=166826 Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
I am stuck on four balls. I was stuck on Big Ball, but I figured it out today. I just needed to tweak where the struts were placed.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Looking at your solutions to four balls I was on the right track, but just hadn't tweaked it right. Posted by SenojRetep (Member # 8614) on :
Done and done. Here is my unpossible design.

Heh. That's pretty good. Too bad I didn't save mine. It was a crazy mess. I had a conveyor belt thing going on the bottom and then this walking contraption that would clamber over the balls and knock them in the right direction.
Posted by rollainm (Member # 8318) on :

Yeah, but I didn't figure that out until after that level.

Whatever you do, don't start looking in the simplest solutions and overly complex solutions threads in the site forum. You may never emerge.

I love how it doesn't even make it.

Anybody get down under yet? It's killing me!
Posted by rollainm (Member # 8318) on :
Oh, but it does. That's the beauty of it. Perhaps you were not bored enough to wait it through.
The only one of the first 20 I can't get is Tube.
Posted by MEC (Member # 2968) on :
No it doesn't, I watched it three times, after making it about 2/3 the way up it just sort of half falls over and moves back down and falls of the cliff near the starting area.
quote:Originally posted by Nick: Anybody get down under yet? It's killing me!
I had to rebuild it since I hadn't saved it when I did do it, but this still works.

Posted by rollainm (Member # 8318) on :
MEC, apparently it doesn't work the same way for everyone. But I promise, it worked for me. It was horrible, though. I'll try to come up with a more effective solution tonight if I have time.
Posted by MEC (Member # 2968) on :
Ok, I believe you, I've now heard that results will very if a certain bottom limit is passed with the length of a rod.

Nice, way to use the collision detection issues of the water rods to your ends. That same bug makes my saved Handling puzzle not work, which is weird since it worked the one time and never again.
Posted by MEC (Member # 2968) on :
I've been looking through the other player's solutions. Can someone tell me what's going on with this one?

I have no idea how they achieved that. I didn't think the joints could be broken.

Finally figured out how to do it. Mine wasn't nearly as well constructed as yours (it kinda fell apart there), but it got the job done.

The one I posted wasn't as well done as my original, I had made the original before I even made an account so I never saved it, that one was just a quickly thrown together version.

I've seen some people have chains that break when they had enough stress, but this kind of just spins around then explodes.

Wow, those are awesome. The fighting guys crack me up. I was up all night playing with this and I see it happening again tonight. I still can't get through the Tube, Back and Forth or the Unpossible. I've pretty much given up, and don't want to cheat and check someone else's. Now i'm redoing earlier levels. Here are my favorites:

I won't tell you what to do specifically, but there's basically only one type of solution. Everything I've seen is just a variation of the same technique.

There are multiple solutions, but most people appear to have used just one of them. Another hint: .

The piece count will not be very high. The solution is simple.

Right now I'm trying to use a catapult on Up the Stairs. It's tricky. Even trickier trying to go over the rocks.
Posted by Nighthawk (Member # 4176) on :
That's pretty good. It starts off slow but then suddenly starts shoving everything.
Oh, and I E-mailed the creators with details on the bug I found and now it's been fixed. I don't know if anyone else did as well, but at least I can feel like I contributed.
