You want more? Okay, I'll play some after lunch and put it down as 'creative time'

Here's a new challenge... how many can be done *without* using any driving wheels?

Here are some efforts:

Rolling Away

Reach Up
http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=2685676

Mind the Gap... I like this
http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=2685841

On a Roll
http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=2685909

Full Up
http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=2686151

Higher

Around the Bend
http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=2686273

Mission to Mars
http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=2686273

Some can't be done this way... but no matter what, gravity wins

Figures... I had a brilliant idea (or so I thought), and others had it long ago. Check here... they've come up with other challenges. Specifically:

Quote:
  • Solved Badge: A contraption that gains a victory message without abusing any glitches or bugs in the game. You probably have a whole drawer of Solved badges by now! But how FEW pieces can you solve it in?
  • Green Badge: An environmentally-friendly contraption that uses only rods, sticks and un-powered wheels. Can you let gravity do the work for you?
  • Champion Badge: Leaves the goal piece(s) in the goal forever! Don't let them roll out or trundle on after the Victory message. Even this tiny change will make your contraptions require a lot more thought!
  • Boomerang Badge: A contraption that brings the goal piece back to the building area after winning. Can you become an expert at creating objects that roll forwards as well as backwards?
  • Clean Badge: Clean up after yourself! Remove all traces of your contraption from the playing area by throwing them off cliffs after beating the level!
  • Brown Badge: Earn yourself a Brown Badge by beating the level with nothing more than water and wooden sticks. No wheels allowed!
Some of those are really creative... that last one of yours can be done with *no* add-ons, Yorick!

Each one of those "badges" has a thread where people have posted their contraptions. Some people have even *MORE* time on their hands... and are quite impressive!

Nice! I tried doing a catapult... it worked... kind of...

http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=2701530

Touched the ground, though... and not much catapulting going on

Here's a little song for ya b':

I could while away the hours, conferrin' with the flowers
Consultin' with the mob.
And my head I'd be scratchin' while
my thoughts were busy hatchin'
If I only had a job.
