Fantastic Contraption!!!

[TB]

I think, TB, this calls for a rematch of our Longest Contraption series! No longer do we have to time it manually...

I was waiting for that...

Mission to Mars - 22

 

[Metar]

I was waiting for that...

Waiting for this? 95323 ff.com-seconds, which was just under an hour of real time - slowest so far, isn't it?

And as far as complexity/time ratios go, this one takes the crown...

Check your profile messages. Mine clocked in at 99,584.

Edit: New version is 110006.

 

[Metar]

I smashed it with a whopping 143856. Check and mate - now king me! [/homer]

Oh yeah!? Take this!

And this of a improved version of your junkyard try:

[TB]

Nicely done on the 143856, Metar! I'm running mine yet again. Closing in on the 50000 mark.

Edit: 128768.

I have tried for a few minutes to better your 18 on Mars and failed (SO FAR!) however, I will see your pitiful 56 and lower you to 40 on Junkyard.

 

[MTC]

One of the harder levels to get a good time on: 416 for Back and Forth

 

[TB]

Using one of my old designs, I got Back and Forth - 349.

 

[MTC]

348 for Back and Forth, by improving my previous design.

I lower you by 1

You wanna start a milisecond one-upping fest, do ya?

U-Turn - 44
I know. It's a blatant rip off of yours.

I think we need a rule about having to make you own contraption from scratch...

 

[nick09]

You wanna start a milisecond one-upping fest, do ya?

Sure but how about a 3-upping millisecond fest?
http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=2381466

@Beerz: I don't even know how that happened.

 

[Metar]

It worked for me..

I'm still amazed I'm the record holder for three whole days.

 

[TB]

Sure but how about a 3-upping millisecond fest?

No. One is good.

I'm still amazed I'm the record holder for three whole days.

If you're talking about our little 2 man challenge, I have one that made it to 185000 before it borked. A slight tweak and I think it'll be good.

 

[Metar]

We'll see. I'm not one to rest still, but I've reached something like that too...


Actually, my latest dirty prototype is chugging along at 150k and hasn't even gotten the red ball out of the starting zone. I take it adding weights and drags to the contraption is legal?

 

[nick09]

Whoa! I guess just a few more wheels is just too much!

I've been away for a week, what are we doing exactly, I do know about the timer but i'm not sure what you guys are up to.

 

[Metar]

Well, TB and my are engaged in a battle to solve Junkyard as slowly as possible - I'm currently leading with a 143k, but my prototype is currently puttering along at 250k and making excellently-slow progress. Meanwhile, TB and everyone else is trying to solve stuff the shortest way possible.

 

[Legendary]

Ok...thanks. I don't think I would have the patience to watch my contraption for ages to see if it wins or not...

 

[Metar]

With the timer, you just fire away and leave...


EDIT: Mine did 320k by now and is still running... the edge of the contraption didn't even leave more than a wheel's width off the zone!

 

[Legendary]

And I thought my design was fast...You guys are blitzing this level.

Soooo many pieces of log.

 

[bergauk]

Soooo many pieces of log.

Shh! You're not supposed to notice!

 

[Legendary]

When I first looked at it, I thought you hacked the game and made a brown triangle shaped thing with a single piece.

 

[bergauk]

Nope, just lots of wood rods. I did the same with my Complications design. Except that one was gravity powered. Check back a few pages if you missed it.
