    Take *that*, Back and Forth.

    Only "The Tube" left to go and I've beaten them all.... god damn tube...


    *EDIT*

    Ok done 'em all. Here are the ones I bothered saving.

    <a href="http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1093906" target="_blank">Mind the Gap</a>

    <a href="http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1095374" target="_blank">Big Ball (1)</a>
    <a href="http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1098212" target="_blank">Big Ball (2)</a>

    <a href="http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1098812" target="_blank">Unpossible</a>
    <a href="http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1099536" target="_blank">U-Turn</a>
    <a href="http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1100616" target="_blank">Back and Forth</a>


    It's interesting to see the totally different approaches people take on some of these. For example, I did <a href="http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1100616" target="_blank">this</a> for Back and Forth, whereas <a href="http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1100015" target="_blank">this</a> is far simpler.
    So everyone post yours! (go to the main menu and click "My Devices" if you don't know how to get to your previously saved ones; I didn't).

    DiscoZombie, that is a stroke of genius!

    Also, none of you guys are thinking with catapults, that makes me very sad. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" />

    I demand everyone beat every level with a catapult at least once.

    I finally managed to beat Over The Hump using my 3 legged freak mule;

    <a href="http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=1268652" target="_blank">http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=1268652</a>

    He does get there in the end! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />


    I wish you could change names after saving (actually, I wish it had a whole lot more awesome in the save & browse department!). I'd like to change the name to Bane the Mule.

    my latest for Handling:

    <a href="http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1269569" target="_blank">http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1269569</a>

    not too unique, but I likes it.

    that mule is positively bizarre and I love it <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" /> I need to try making contraptions with legs a bit more...

    Some catapult solutions. I've made one for each level up to 'Awash', except 'Up the Hump' (though it is possible to make one for that, too).

    I'll edit my other solutions in later, gotta run now.

    Some of my designs are based on irrational hatred of objects in the level, such as this one:

    <a href="http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1145281" target="_blank">http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1145281</a>

    I was trying to think of a way to clear the lower level too, but I don't think it can be done with the room I have available in the build area. Also, there's a limit to how much stuff you can place.

    **EDIT**

    Also, <a href="http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1140499" target="_blank">this.</a>

    That one is weird. The firs time I made it, it carried everything to the top and pushes it over the edge. Second time I ran through it, it dropped the big ball on top right at the end. Third time, the big ball just rolled right over the top right at the start. It seems to change the outcome every time I run through it, even though I haven't actually changed anything, which is kind of annoying.

    The hardest level to do with a catapult is now officially Handling.

    Try your best guys!

    Also, Stickman, think about flyinging all of the junk backwards @ the stairs, much simpler.

    Man, Awash was the only one that gave me any real trouble. I was determined not to build a bulldozer looking thing for so long....
