Fantastic Contraption Reply #4 – October 22, 2008, 09:25:03 PM 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. Quote Selected
Fantastic Contraption Reply #5 – October 22, 2008, 10:55:46 PM Wow, this is addicting. Here is my design for Big Ball:http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=3400149Four balls was a PITA...I tried a cart, a conveyor belt, finally a rotor worked:http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=3404370My Down Under solution:http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=3404931Awash wasn't that hard...just needed a front bumper, lots of thrust, tracks, and a shovel, LOL...http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=3405507Tube was difficult, but it turned out to be not as nearly hard as Four Balls:http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=3429063BackAndForth...Serious PITA...http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=3433095Unpossible wasn't IMpossible, but it took three hours...http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=3441530U-Turn was easy!http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=3441796 Quote Selected

Fantastic Contraption Reply #8 – October 23, 2008, 10:03:52 AM 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? BTWSTILL stuck on “Tube” Quote Selected
Fantastic Contraption Reply #9 – October 23, 2008, 05:43:05 PM 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. Quote Selected
