Ive been trying these levels by hitting off a tea, but those levels are difficult with a tee.
 
Thats...strange...

It looks, somewhat futuristic in that slo-mo sort of way,
 
Thanks Nick.

Wallrunner: I knew that it was possible to make the 'Pusher' have less pieces but I wasn't worried about how many pieces at that point in time.
 
Yeah, I meant 4 pieces with that design I just had.

Now I present you with my most favourite and best design yet!!!!!!!
I'm not fussed how many pieces this has but i'm proud of this design. It takes a while for the last ball to go in, a few minutes.

Also, I love the balance on your 3 piece design.

What did you think of my design? Surely my best design is worth a comment?

As for yours, I find it funny that the 3rd ball was thrown so far.
I waited for it to glitch and after 2 or 3 mins I stopped as I wasn't seeing anything. But if it does glitch, it is pretty stupid if such a normal or average design could possibly glitch.
 
Oh, it glitches...
The arms of the spinners get all screwed up and almost look like they create an extra bar or something. It's very odd.

I didn't think the last ball was going in there, nice positioning of the spinners! I keep failing to get them in the right place and get the timing right.
 
I've always dreamed of making one of these, and I finally did it, in two different ways: a "crane" sort of contraption for Down Under.

Take 1 was rather clumsy, and almost tipped over the edge.

Take 2: Overcomplication is the answer to everything: I added more parts, and a spiffy bit of rotation to swing the arm around - and with it, allow the "base" to move a little less.


EDIT: My obsession with simplifying On a roll knows no bounds - I'm so very close to a one-piece contraption!

And with the simple addition of 2 water rods...

Edit: I also screwed around with this one for a bit last night.

Those water rods make an incredible difference dont they?

That is really weird, I like how you added the blue balls to help out the red one:tup:

I have never seen anyone try to make a contraption like that.

As for on a roll...that is amazing.

EDIT: Also, guess what I just found? A one piece solution for on a roll. Quite simple really. This isn't my design.
On A Roll 1 piece
