So I take it those otherwise-useless little arrowhead things on the wheels makes them freak out?

If you look at it in a physics stand point then i would say they throw the weight off and there is a bug in the engine that after a few turns it starts to kind of store energy i guess you could say. Once it hits a free point or what have you it releases all the energy at once, flying, vanishing, shooting off the screen, and my favorite busting the blue rods to tons of pieces!
 
I always liked this spastic creation of mine - it somehow "calms down" right near the end to finish the level.
It's kinda like my 2 and 4 year old boys. Starts off alright, looses interests and gets frustrated, spazzes out, get's hollered at by their dad and finishes the task at hand.
 
Can I see that done?


Let me elaborate a bit. You know how when you make a sort of chain with the blue rods e.g. to swing down to a goal etc.? When the blue rods are in all those tiny sections and you run into a glitch like that sometimes they just all explode apart and fly everywhere.
 
Not just any cow. You made a drunk, chocolate milk cow. With a pretty round, pink bell. :lol:

That's because it's the same as the first one. Both are 90213.
 
That can balance on it front legs on a ball at the end.

Well, I suppose that I already had 'working versions', but I wanted to make the object split from its power source, and stay within the goal area. I guess that I'll have to fine tune it a bit, if it didn't count.

These two should count, but maybe not:

Heres the invisible creation ( which was pretty cool ) that has just enough to get the job done.


Messed with it some more and got this version, for some reason its really pissed off at the ball and just has enough!


I have been trying to make them freak out and aim all that aggression on the ball. This one kicks the crap out of it but at the end. It knocks it off and then you think oh, it knocked it off and look its going to the goal....nope!
