Ban the catapult!

Here it is... I think it is doable.

As I said before, my crawler solution to the previous edit was ♥♥♥♥... so here is a better looking and MUCH faster one

NOT a solution, but very strange.

yeah thats happened to me. Its very strange.

I think this is a thread-killer. There doesn't seem to be a way to get the thin yellow stick out of the way. Even if you knock it over it still gets wedged.

[ben838383]

I thought the same, i'm not sure if it's possible.

I tried throwing the ball over the whole thing. That almost works, but it stays left of the goal.

This was my next attempt, doesn't work either:

It could almost work if the ball+motor wouldn't fall down when the big yellow block falls. I hoped they would go over the block...

It looks to me like even if if stayed up there, the best case scenario would be that it'd climb over the yellow brick and the green lines and then fall harmlessly off the map with no chance of reaching the goal. In the current configuration I would guess that it would probably get stuck behind the orange ball after it climbed and fell off the yellow brick.

Its amazing how small the difference is between an easy edit and a thread killer. If the support yellow piece were just a tiny bit shorter, it would fall down when knocked over instead of getting stuck, and the level might be beatable by a 4 or 5 piece machine. As it is, the only viable option looks to be to throw the goal ball with a stick or other ball(s), which would hook on the final green piece, which would swing the goal ball around as it fell and briefly pass into the goal area. Since the machine has to throw almost straight up or throw a large machine, that seems to be a high level of difficulty.

I figure getting that yellow stick to fall inwards instead of outwards would do the trick... but getting it there! argh!

http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=102702

so close yet so far away...

Aw man thats aweosme.

Yellow block falling down
http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=100841

Yes, I know it doesnt really help getting to the goal...

[QB]

I figured if I could get the bottom of the yellow stick to slip off to the left, I could get a small vehicle under it. Unfortunately, I catapulted some pretty heavy stuff at high speeds into the top of the yellow stick, and I couldn't quite get the bottom to slip off how I wanted. Eventually, I used so many pieces that the game started glitching like that earlier example.

[ben838383]

I think one thing will probably work:
Throwing the ball+a yellow wheel attached ,over the yellow block onto the green above the goal. it will slide down to the left and then the yellow wheel will push it into the goal.
I used tons of wheels to build a catapult, managed to throw it onto the yellow block, but not over the orange ball. And when I use more parts to make the catapult strong enough I always get the "everything falls apart" glitch.

Throwing something at the top of the stick might actually work.

Well, I got the stick to come down using a modification of your design. No solution yet but is there a little window of opportunity there?
