Levels #184, #204 and #226 - Next challenges!

I think 159 is going to take some sort of clever balancing game.

this http://www.fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=11268354 gives an idea, but it's far from working.

I think that the best idea is to have a weight on the right side of the build area, and that as the car moves along, the weight falls down, increasing the anti-clockwise moment on the pivot, so that the car can travel up. I think my example needs more extreme weight and speed:

Some sort of squib would do the trick.

yoo can only squib when there are 2 forces present on either side of the object.
in this case, we're missing a normal force since the ground moves down wit the weight.

That's really close. Someone needs to solve that level.

[jdelgado06]

staring at this for way too long... can't tell if this tweak is a little better or not
http://www.fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=11308362

i'd really like to see this solved... so if my tweak isn't any better, consider this a friendly bump

[schmittd]

heres a bump.
http://www.fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=11679261 beat #184 with 27 pieces. and after looking at jdel and skips progress on 159, i think ill have a go at it

[jdelgado06]

159 has been a thorn in my side for years. I'd love to see it solved.

[jdelgado06]

maybe a slightly more tweak-friendly attempt at 159. still not as close as the former efforts.
