Squeezing it through "The Handling"

I'm mildly proud of this one: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=505021

Edit: I see I've been preempted...

Climb up "the tube"

Bloody hell! It's so simple. I've been designing an intricate ladder like structure for the past half an hour, to no avail.

Some tricky teeter-totter action for "back and forth"

Share yours guys. Its really interesting to see totally different ways to do them.

Wow, the last one took me a while. Built a Trebuchet for "unpossible"

Here's my solution to "Tube": the amazing Gekko! (EDIT: Link fixed!)

It took me forever to find the right scaffolding pattern that would put enough outward pressure on all the wheels.

I think Dan's design is actually better, in a Colin Chapman sort of way.

Your link is wrong, as are Dan's last two links.

I was browsing other people's solutions to "Tube" and came across this:

Genius! Sheer genius. I love it.

Incedently I seem to be in the vast minority with my wall-climbing monster truck. Most people went for lightweights.

Here's a really cheap way to win "Back and forth". Usually I prefer to do everything with a single machine but I just couldn't get this to work without the separate bridge builder.

How'd he make that release happen? I'd be doing a lot more of these if I could figure that out.

D'oh. I guess it was getting late. That sucks, the last two were cool, now they're gone forever.

The Wall

We should have a simplest competition, and "Italian car" style elegance competition, and a ridiculously complicated competition!

For example: Simplest: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=522533 http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=522739 (I can't believe that one worked!)

either that or a most ridiculous contraption event.

Check out the forums on their site. There are some wicked ones. Galloping horses and crazy catapults and really powerful bulldozers. They do competitions too, one they want you to "clean the stage" which means when everything is done, the piece is in the goal and nothing else is left, your device falls off somewhere. Or "green" where you don't use any power wheels, just gravity of some kind.

Holy crap. This guy beats 20 levels in under 5 minutes.
