could you please tell me what MIA means?

it means Missing-In-Action.....i have not seen you around the forums in a while...
collaborating on the maze levels you created was a lot of FUN, and it brought a lot
of old-time solvers back into the game...i thought you were not playing/creating
maze levels anymore, so i asked zhyrek to create some...but, since you are here,
would you create some more?...thanks

[jdelgado06]

Oh... we're always here... somewhere... lurking in the shadows

[Dean-o]

Hmm, I wonder who else is lurking.

[Error-QM]

I've been, for more than a year...I just didn't actually sign in much.

http://www.fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=11720192 ball out. Let's tweak the pieces down!

[DoktorQ]

I used the same lifting system(2 less pieces though), but used a new design for the cart:
http://www.fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=11720781 (6 less pieces)

As I see it, there are two ways of getting the goalpiece over the bump, either do the same as in this design, with the wheel rolling the goalpiece over the bump or making the goalpiece land on top of the wood and roll over the bump.

Anyway, lots of tweaking.

[jdccdj1]

here is an idea with rianbay's start...nothing has been trimmed yet, just trying out ideas : http://www.fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=11720508
looks like 52 pieces total so far

[DoktorQ]

got my design workin:
http://www.fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=11720891
8 less pieces than the other retriver.

Trimmed version:

Now to find a way to get the ball up and over to the other side of the level.

It bugged me that goalpiece fell of lift first time, so I made this:

gets up on first try, saves about 125 tics.

nice work dokQ!...i tried a few ideas to get the ball up the other side and thru the top, but nothing worth posting yet...
definitely a good challenge, tho

[rianbay812]

just thinkin out loud
http://www.fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=11722299

seeing as we only have 1 more task, I don't think pieces are a huge issue.

http://www.fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=11722829
but I trimmed some off and got it further

http://www.fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=11722850 ooo
can't get it any further than that. i think this would climb all the way to the other end.

But here's the last part
http://www.fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=11723100 It's easy to time. I have it set to be about 3-400 ticks after the contraption on the left crawls out of its basket.

other side: http://www.fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=11739253

[rianbay812]

Doesn't work for me. Doesn't ever climb out of the basket (5,000 ticks)
But I remember posting a right side possibility
