[thumbsup] That was pretty funny and more elegant than most of my solutions. Mine tended to be more brute force, I forget exactly what I did with that one, but I'd assume it was uglier.

Here's what makes it even funnier: You see that extra piece of "chain" dangling off of the back there for no apparent reason? The make the beast with two backsing thing doesn't work without it.  [laugh]

I wish I would have saved my Crazy Catapult of Doom from the "Down Under" level. That was hoot.

Yeah, I had a lot of trouble with that one.

What helped me was to look through a bunch of other people's solutions for previous levels and get ideas from those.

After that it didn't take me long at all.

AWESOME!  [thumbsup]  ;D

I built a conveyor similar to the one on the bottom of your contraption and then built one using the opposite wheels on top as well. The balls sort of spit out of it at the end. Just used the rotating wheels though. Didn't think of actually building a conveyor belt.    [clap]

Post by: KnightofNi on August 21, 2008, 09:00:26 AM
i wish the wheels were powerful enough to actually build a launcher. i have been trying to build one for 4 balls, but it jsut isnt' working, they don't go far enough.

(i beat it with a conveyor belt system, but i feel the need to go back and try different things)


last night i spent more time going through and building the most minimalistic designs i could.

Does this qualify as a launcher or did you mean specifically where it runs the object ball between two rotating balls?

I just put it together really quickly, so it only gets 3 out of 4.  But with a little tweaking, it could probably be made to work.

Post by: triangleforge on August 26, 2008, 10:53:55 AM
OK, I avoided this thread for days and now wish I'd stayed away completely.  [bang] and  [thumbsup]

A couple of questions:

1) Any idea why the "chaos engine" things work the way they do? Somehow the cross-bracing in the wheels seems to allow them to store up a whole lot more energy than they would otherwise, or am I missing something?

2) I quickly realized that too much looking at other people's solutions not only would spoil it, but even worse it marks the individual puzzle as "completed" on my menu. Any idea how to go back and uncheck them? I've already gone & deleted the Fantastic Contraption cookies from my browser a couple of times to no avail. Not a big deal, since it just means I have to go solve them for real...

And my one, very humble contribution: in my limited browsing of others solutions, I didn't spot this approach to getting over jumbled stuff (this is in the very early "Junkyard" puzzle), when I hearkened back to my off-roading days and remembered that there were few problems that weren't amenable to the "bolt on a 36" Mud Terrain" approach:

http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=899690

Probably pretty common solution, but it was fun to come up with on my own.

I bought but haven't had time to play it. Damn you work and the things you make me do.
