Given how long it took me to complete all 22 levels, this is somewhat of an insult, however, I had a lot of fun thinking up wacky, uncool, and totally retarded machines :-)

I made a pretty cool all-terrain tracked vehicle. It barely worked and now i realize i should have made a plow, but still i think it looks awesome :)

Weaver that big ball solutions was great.

Here are a couple of my useless contraptions:
4-Legged walker. Very depressing to watch, it tries and it tries, but it just can't get over the bricks.

Trebuchet. Not good for anything, but it does fling the hell out of that ball.

Oh I'd like to try some walkers.

Here's one my most bizarre failures.

Everyone in some way goes over, under, or through the balls in awash. Yep, I did too (my first attempt tunneled).

But what better way to prove you have the baddest machine than a show of pure strength! So I built a machine that heaves ALL (almost, I kinda didn't save my one iteration that actually didn't lose any on the way up) up and over the hill! http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=2832237 I discovered there is a piece limit with that one...

But before that masterpiece, I built a machine that uses the physics bugs to get around the u turn http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=2830644

And another using those for the wall http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=2830223

That physics bug is insane. Check this out on Mars:

Haha, I ran into that bug too, check out this innocent looking crawler.

Btw, you can remove the middle wooden rods in wheels/legs to see how it's supposed to work without the bug.

Sure this thread is dead, but some of us just can't help but get random ideas... so a minimal tube climber! http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=3446828
