Pezzy Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Here's one someone posted on CNTC, and a few of us have been playing for a few days. http://fantasticcontraption.com/ Build contraptions to get your item to the goal. Pretty addictive. When you've finished a level you can go back and see what other people have created to get to the goal. Most of mine have been hideously ugly, but functional. I'm currently at level 20/21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unccpathfinder Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 (edited) sweet...this is an engineering fun land...thanks Haha I already high centered on level 4...no problem though just swapped my tree for some water...i didn't know all those blocks were going to move...

mws Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Fun! But sorry, "hideously ugly" is completely irrelevant when it comes to physics and/or engineering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezzy Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 Oh, when I compare my contraptions to other people's, theyre damn ugly. They use half, or even less the amount of "tools" to get the job done. I figured some of the engineer types here would like this game. JUST finished the second last one. Wow@the time I wasted. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unccpathfinder Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 (edited) They use half, or even less the amount of "tools" to get the job done. If they're available u may as well use them...i've had some butt simple ones and some complicated crawlers...too much work to do though...not enough to play...I'm only on 11 and i think thats where i'll be till i get home tonight my favorite so far... http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=4150110 Edited November 11, 2008 by unccpathfinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezzy Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 It's amazing to see other people's designs, mine was NOTHING like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY1PATH Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 yeh n4w was all over that for a while, me and some freinds made a game called "contraption golf" most of them with a par 3 or 4(parts uesd in additon to the pink one) many were accomlished by only using 1 wellplaced stick wheel. try it, see how few you can get!

Precise1 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I am trying clever approaches and minimal design contraptions. Clever and effective out weighs minimal, but still, I believe in simplicity. Here is my crane crawler... http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=4161947 B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrimGreg Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I hate you.... What? 1/2 of them if you would make something that fell over it would land in the goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverlion Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Ugly as hell, but it works. This one took me the longest.

unccpathfinder Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 haha thats pretty much what mine looked like...I was going to show one I made but its crazy...my contraption isnt the one thats there and theres 1 that is way cooler...so I'll share the cool 1 that isnt mine... http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=4187465 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverlion Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 (edited) Had to try something different. http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=4192607 Edited November 13, 2008 by silverlion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Great now I am hooked... Haven't gotten very far but here is one of mine http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=4193044 Don't show that to my Eng prof... he would be disappointed I am an engineering student taking Statics currently we are learning about trusses and pulleys. -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehh..as a professional...my designs for this thing take no thought...i just build some crap run it and adapt it to work through trial and error unlike the real design process...I think this would be a good "evaluation" for companies to see how creative their engineering candiate is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
