Awesome work on level 11.
13 is sweet too.
17 is like ultra slow mo. 
I like the extendo-ramp in your level 20, but I'm not sure it uses less parts than the trap door one I did. |
You are right on #4, I can't count. I like the little critter.
Thanks for the Kudos on 5, 11 and 13.
#8 link is fixed. My original #8 used a tripod and rolling counter weights which was cool. They didn't need to roll, but it was fun to watch but used way too many pieces.
As I said, I hadn't optimized 18 or 20 for piece count. I did all of them to make sure I could do them, and then went back and optimized almost all of them before looking at other solutions.
New Level 20 16 piece version...The structure to support the extendo ramp cost too many pieces. Wish I could get it to work with fewer drive wheels or without chain. The later would save a ton of pieces.
Without being terribly derivative of other's work, I don't think I can drop the piece count on my version of the Tube.
I'll try later.
I've tried a ton of things to do "The hump" using balancing drivewheel configs like #5 and just can't make it happen. It is just too large of a object to "fly" far enough before gravity kicks in using only 3 pieces. I can get it onto the hump, and part way over but not with quite enough force to roll off the far side.
