Title: Re: Fantastic Contraption
Post by: sk89q on August 13, 2008, 07:13:14 PM: For handling, you need to either make a spring so that it will pop back into its place, or put it on a joint so that it spins (and then cross your fingers in hopes that it settles in the right orientation).

My solution's on my site, but it'd spoil it.

mars (http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1024349): i dont think its possible to throw it any farther and still make it.

big ball (http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1027670)

i am sad to say that i have been unable to come up with a different solution to "four balls" than ones that have been posted already. i worked on 2 designs (drawbridge and conveyor belt) and was not able to make them work. also, i wasnt able to save my progress on them because i refreshed the browser accidentally ... both times. :'(
