Fantastic Contraption - Fun Online Game & Shareable Creations

In summary, the player must build a contraption to move an object across a gap to a different area. There are many different contraptions to try out and some are more difficult than others.

And now he gets stuck at the goal. :smile:

Whoops, I lied. After watching it for several minutes and posting here... I turn back just in time to find that it escaped. :frown:
What's the solution that gets to the goal in the shortest time, and stays there?

I've got 6 sec, but I'm sure that can be bettered.

No one is actually working anymore. It's a disease. :smile:
Yes, he must be evil! :devil:

Janus, for your punishment, take THAT: http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=802699"

EDIT: I won't even come close to your intricate clockwork systems!

On U-turn, I've been trying to throw the red wheel to the right with enough speed that it would roll around the U on its own momentum to get to the top. I can't seem to get enough power to go much above the half-way point on the U, though. :frown:

Aha, finally got it!

Here's a solution for Tube that stays in the goal (I think - I was about to post my first solution and the contraption was gone, so I had to tweak it): U-tube

Yes, it's stable this time.

I was trying to use wheels to lift it up...

couldn't get it to work. The wheels started fighting with each other.. and after some minutes, violet ones won.

Who has the simplest design for the above one?
If you want to lift the ball, you can do something like:

You just need to be pushing hard enough against it. :smile:

I was trying to make a contraption that lifted the ball and then flipped over (counter-clockwise). Or maybe climbed the wall after lifting the ball, or something else neat. Never quite managed to get it to work, though.

I wonder if it's possible to get rid of all the balls.

Hrm. It's not hard to fling two of them aside. The third one up top is probably doable. That fourth one down below the level looks very hard to knock aside, though... It would take some doing to hit it, even if that's the only one you're aiming for!

I have three balls down: the two on the right and the one below.

Now to figure out how to squeeze in something to hit the top ball

Brilliant! :smile: but is there a life next to fantastic contraptions?
:rolleyes:

Aha, victory! All four big balls are destroyed!

Love the slingshots! I'm having so much fun watching everyone's wild creations.

Hurkyl, your mission now, should you choose to accept it, it to eliminate your contraptions as well, leaving no trace of anything that could implicate the department of state. And if you are killed in the process we will casually walk away whistling, as if nothing ever happened.

This is also a great place to spend time with your children or grandchildren. It is a great learning and sharing experience. I started my 7 year old grandson out just building contraptions without trying to reach a goal. He has now achieved level three on his own.

We did this one together. The kid obviously loves wheels.:smile:
