This week i have been mostly wasting my life playing this

Fantastic Contraptions

Infuriatingly addictive

Enjoy

This is really fun. I love stuff like this (even if im crap at it!)

can anyone do the 'big ball' one? i am stumped

can anyone do the 'big ball' one? i am stumped

Which big ball one?

on a roll
or
full up?

wooohoooo!

just got past the Big Ball level - only took 90 minutes

so did i, so did i!

How did you do it?

Mission to Mars has me stumped

got it!

Oh bloody hell, after all this time, making contraptions, NOW i see that you can move the pink ball thing to anywhere with in the square!?!

Well that just makes it too easy

you can move the pink thing?!

Have to try again now.

Argh! The one where you have to get it in the square below is TOO nails!!!

Wow I could play this all day! Good find, I'm rubbish at it but who cares lol!

The last one has me stumped I've even looked at other peoples solutions but i still can't get it to work

Stumped on "mission to mars".

What's the clue there?

The clue with mission to mars is that you have two options:

Attach the pink thing to the end of a long arm so it goes through the pink square as the arm falls.

Or

Dont attach the pink thing to anything and build a contraption that can thwack it over the other side!

Can't get past The Tube - I reckon I'm approaching it the wrong way - I've tried flinging the little pink ball and I've tried building a tube-crawling device - neither worked

without giving me the solution, can anyone give me a hint to try?

I think you need to retry the tube crawling device

thats what I thought

I've built a platform that wedges itself in the bottom of the tube and stops everything falling straight through

However, I can't seem to get traction on the tube walls

it's difficult to suggest without telling you exactly what to do....

if you get the wheels turning in the right direction and right up against the side walls the platform will rise

I found zooming in so you could place the wheels precisely helped with the tube level.

Just started back and forth, it seems im now in direct competition with my mate from the Supra forum, didnt realise you can post up linkks to how you did it til now!

The Mars one was pretty easy, took me 2 attempts. The tube one though I think I was trying to be too clever, ended up using only 2 drive wheels and a couple of sticks.

on a roll - got the tube done (thanks for the hints chaps) - also managed the back & Forth one in about half an hour.

I've looked at Unpossible and given up for the night though.....

Im within mins of completing it now, i just wish id had more of a precision click when deleting stuff as the main crux of what i did was based on angles.....the main one ive just deleted!!!

I've decided that simple engineering elegance is a crock. The more complicated the better :). I am particularly proud of this effort. And they tell me I have the soul of Archimedes.

Pah, that's not a contraption, this is

Woop woop! Completed!

My winning final design is.....


Clicko!

Scooby, pfoe I am truly humbled
