Alright, cool. I went and modified your vehicle, though. Check it out: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=334868
I thought that one was going to fail like three times.
Here is my most ambitious contraption: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=335229

Four Balls level. :)
And that is genius!

And so is that!

Caterpiller

Modded 3

Only one I couldn't do last night was Higher :odd:

[EDIT]
That was untill I built a ramp and dragged it up :D
Yes. I did this but didn't realise for a while it was too steep.

It seems sooo complicated but all it needs for each one that I've done is a very simple design!

I hate you for poisting this.

I've done everything up to this level, but this is the first I saved.

I like simple, but it's surprisingly difficult to design 'clever' things on the fly.
I doubt I would have ever thought of that...

It's amazing how much fat you can cut out once you get a good idea to work.
 
One for 'Back and Forth'.

I love this, but I should hate it. :)

I started with the 'falling' link. But it needs traction to the right, do I added the draggers. Then, the triangulated 'ramp' came into my head. Adding the trapdoor was just tuning. :)

I love this game but I lack the mechanical imagination to finish the least few levels.
 
I hadn't realised you could move the target object (red) where you like in the deignated area, that makes things a little easier.
 
Help.
I've worked on this for a while, still can't get it to work, mainly because it's too heavy to make it far enough up the stairs. I've tried moving the wheels some, I cut a bunch of weight, I made the little cup to hold the ball a little longer. Still no go though. Feel free to check it out and change it.
 
Loon most of those wheels are uneeded you can get up with just 5, that will save alot of weight. Also remember not to make the frame too rigid or it wont flex enough up the stairs as that will lift a number of wheels of the ground giving you less traction.

I tried to leave it as "stock" as I could. :)

Loon shooter.
 
Okay, finished all but the last three levels. Cheese and rice these are going to be difficult…
 
VERY NICE TB!!! The front and rear additional traction you gave it was brilliant.
Thank you.

Fun fact. Apparently there is a limit to the number of items you can use because it won't let me add anything unless I get rid of something first.

Actually, the only one I can't do is Unpossible.

Anyone beat that one yet?

Same thing happened to me because I tried to add the rail road type tracks to it and it wouldn't let me. That was before I took a bunch of stuff off, then I forgot about trying the tracks again.

This would work even better if the back triangle was connected to the center of the ball.
