How Slow can you Go?

[mtdewd]

There was a topic a few weeks back about building slow contraptions, but that was more about style.
This is about big numbers. Give me your longest-running successful machines. (Under infinity, please)
Now that we have a timer (press the 't' key), we can measure slowness.

Here's the longest I know of
(all mine except where noted)

I'll kick-off with Rolling Away 1008: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=2286293

I can see a lot of time being wasted pleasurably spent on this challenge.

Reach up 44712 : http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1483815

that's my old design from the original 'slow' thread. It probably could be shifted a bit to the left to last longer

Concept for rolling away.... needs tweaking

http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=2293700

if you can get the ball to roll up and back down the 2nd ramp you'd be in for a slow score.

It's still running so I don't have a link and final time just yet, but I have a contraption that is currently at 13,000,000 and counting. I estimate that it'll go to around 18,000,000 before it finishes. Stay tuned for the link and pictures after it's done.

TB is going to own all of you guys.

GO TB!

Wall in 52288 ticks: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=3096801
I have a couple other wall solutions running -- let's see if any of them can finish!

Update: One looks stuck... but I really can't tell if it will stay that way. (The link above was stuck for a long time) The other one is making incredibly slow progress: after 90000 ticks, the rear column of the wall is finally wobbling! I haven't any clue if the latter design has a chance of making it over the rubble, though.

My other post regarding this can be found here.

Long story short, it came out to 17,015,153.

Not mine at all. Final design by kdausman, with much assistance including: nauscopy, sccook, Hurkyl, doctorjorts, jkhouw1, OceanSpud.

That's Amazing

Go TB, Just so you guys know, that is 8 days and 14hours ish...

Thank you, mtdewd.

I'm both honored and ashamed of my record all at the same time.

Edit: "Improved" the design for slower forward progress.
U-Turn 15964: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=3195011
Ball goes slower when it gets to the top too, for a thousand or so extra ticks. And I discovered a bump I never noticed before! Ball turns back around after passing through the goal.

And I'm not to be intimidated by the current Junkyard record holder! I have two Junkyard designs inching along as we speak! (Okay... "inching" is a huge exaggeration.... )

Like I said. I very happily welcome challengers. As long as it's your own design.

Let the gauntlet slapping begin!!!
