Fantastic Contraption game

I couldn't resist breaking down The Wall with goose stepping hammers. Sort of.

Nice! I figured it could be refined a little.

Sorry to bump, but here are two more secret levels to try:

One Hump.

Two Piece Box.

People have found these by just typing in random numbers after the "designId=" part. I've also found some wicked looking levels that lack a payload and so can't be played.

One Hump, Five peices, (Bonus: wheelie bar) http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=941086

I honestly haven't had a chance to try these, yet - I just posted 'em as I found 'em.

One of the contests is for Mission to Mars is to make the ball land on Mars. http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=944406

I got my part count down to seven while retaining robustness:

"Exploding" solutions? http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=953050

Anybody know what the story is with these?

That was weird.

Story - The CIA made a stupid flash game to figure out who the greatest minds in America are, so they could eliminate them.

It seems that anything with unrestrained wheels like that is at risk for odd behaviour. Maybe it's something to do with the frictionless bearings?

I got One Hump with 6 pieces. It could be done in fewer like Tim did, but I'm partial to solutions that leave the payload in the target zone.

I'm having trouble with the Two Piece Box one, because I don't want to take the obvious step of moving the payload to the upper launch box. BTW, the "secret" ones that I'm posting have my names - I have no idea what the official names are.

Humps with no power added.

Me too! http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=954819

U-Turn the slow way http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=955427

I spent forever trying to make a conveyor belt work for Four Balls, but finally got it done with a much simpler flinger/ball return device. http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=956025

I did that one similarly... http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=309133

Yet more secret levels:

Balancing Act - now with 100% more correct link!

Handling 2 variant.

Here’s my “Down Under” solution:

http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=956989

I’d be more satisfied if a permanent path was established but at least there’s none of that “random banging around resulting in a happy accident” sort of thing going on.

Here’s my “Four Ball” solution:

http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=862292

It’s a far cry from that of Aircooled or Josh but I’m sharing it anyway as it provides good insight into the laws of Fantastic Contraption physics in terms of mass and torque.

Well, I was proud of my humps in 5 pieces until I saw the one with 3 sticks.

Duke, you got the wrong link for balancing act.

I'm working on that two piece box (keeping payload on bottom)... got somethin going but can't make it connect right yet.

Very nice and original idea! With just a minor tweak to the right-hand side of your bucket, I made that into a "Clean Stage" design - it delivers the payload, leaves it in the target, and removes the machine itself from the picture.
