Wow, I leave for a few years, and look what happens to my topic.

So you know, I am not updating the OP, that would take way to long.


Anyways, I don't know if this pult counts or not, but:
Pult

Lukasran's "Hungry For Red" had a double parallel extender. I'll see if I can make a less complicated version...
Too lazy. Made this instead...
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand...
It doesn't work
Well, my 2 weight double parallel extender theory should be correct (just a short one attached to the end of a long one, but could be very helpful on large levels with small building areas where you need a bridge or retriever.

No drop weight extender.

I am sure someone has already came up with this. You can keep adding segments indefinitely, but I don't know how well it would work after 2.

http://www.fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=11859128 cleaned it up a little. hamy made a huge extender using this

[halfmaster1]

Wait, his 10 segment one was this?

I always wondered how he built that.

Wow.

Edit:

You put the chains in different spots. Makes it a bit straighter. I got to remember this.

Hey guys
Long time since there was a large update on this
So I was working with carpenter designs and I came up with these:
Carpenter Bridge Theory #1: http://www.fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=11860630 (success)
Carpenter Bridge Theory #2: http://www.fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=11860632 (fail)
Will keep you updated.

[camaro 09]

hamy already did that too

Here's another type of Carpenter: http://www.fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=11860932

It's says BC...but it doesn't champ actually...

Hey guys, how do you make those crazy arms that do business? I mean, each one is different and made for the cause, but I mean the ones like Scarmiglione that have all that much power. Somebody PLEASE make a tutorial.

Intuition, awesomeness, and a little divine revelation

What's your point?
And that ain't helpful.

[ken75]

Scienceguy, protoarms (especially ones like the Scarmiglione) take a certain vision to make, and you need a lot of practice with the game too. Schmittd is dead on actually.

http://www.fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=11865925 not too pretty but you get the idea

Those may genuinely be some of the most dramatic unified brown mechanisms I've ever seen. You can almost hear the trailer music.

AMAZING!!...who needs lukasran(away), when we have all the talent right here, lol

[rianbay812]

We should, in theory, be able to get 8 with the addition of only one more lever

wattt this is epic
but how can it be used? (aside from the double retriever thingy rian made awhile ago)

yep. each on would have to be perfect so it'll be kinda hard to do
