YOU WILL WASTE HOURS. IT IS ADDICTIVE.
It's also entertaining to go back after a level and see what other people did to win.

I can do up to 15, but I skip 11. I can't figure that one out.
Caffrey2008-08-21 14:24:36
My original 11 is at home but it was somthing like this

level 11

Here's a remake of how I got through level 11. http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=705388


Edit: Damn, 20 looks nasty.

11 was too frickin easy compared to some of the others.

Level 11: Mission to Mars

You guys put too much thought into it tongue.gif

Tube stumped me for a while then I fluked it and found a second simple solution in quick succession.

4 Balls

There's my fun solution for 4 balls.
Caffrey2008-08-21 19:52:01
Hmmm nice, I had a flat slope and paddles above, 4 or 2 padles per rotator.

Here is my flukey and funky looking Tube

My (even simpler than Stangmar's) solution for the Mars one.

I loved the conveyor tanks that I saw posted on the FC forums, so I just had to make my own, albeit a clumsy version.

I had virtually no idea how to do the Tube one. I was trying the inverse of what you did, Caffrey, using opposite spinners to try and shoot the ball upwards, like I saw on MythBusters once. (Problem is that their wheels were spinning much, much faster than mine. sad.gif )

Fun little distraction, though! Thanks for sharing.

Last night, I almost had tube. I managed it so my contraption got half way up. Then it fell down. cry.gif

My internet connection here's too slow to want to look at other's, but I went forthe fun approach with 11:

SLINGSHOT!

Also, on four balls I went for the catapult-flat ramp approach.

And I had fun with awash, too:

Laysus' patented diggermatron. Guaranteed to get rid of that geomancer's mess.

I took a few minor liberties with Laysus' patented diggermatron

I'm not very good at this. My contraption is humping the hill sad.gif

Loved that one.
