I took out a lot of unecessary parts.. got it down to 15 pieces total: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=5112

Edit: I tried taking out these two pieces in the beginning, but they were necessary then.. now they aren't, so we're down to 13: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=5124

Edit again: Volcano got it down to 12! amazing!

Oh my god, you guys did tube with 3 pieces? That's incredible. Did it take forever to tweak?

Well I can't decide if I'm depressed or delighted that that works.

I guess delighted since it took a few days and people to find it. I left that little nub in the end there to make life easier for people but i didn't expect it to make life that easy

Here's another one for you guys to try and improve. Big Ball in 7 pieces.

Based on a design called "Crane Master 90".

I thought I looked through the entire list of solutions but obviously I missed that one since it has a lower ID number.

Awash in 14 parts: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=5262

Edit: hrmm... It's stopped working although I didn't change anything...
Edit2: There, now it works!

Awash 8 pieces.http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=5258

My little guy just never gives up.. there's a few points in the beginning you think he's going to fail miserably, but no. :mrgreen:

That is a very interesting solution, I like it.

Edit: And naturally, Punchers Chance 2: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=5346 6 pieces

Based on the 7 piece Awash design comes the new Awash challenger:

Awash in 6 pieces: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=5642

Interesting to note that it requires a ball be in front of it to climb. Once it gets to the top you can see it "unspring" into a shape that doesn't work for climbing. There is one key moment where a larger ball catches it and just barely prevents it from unspringing partway up.

Unpossible in 11 pieces
Decided that the chain holding the ball in the back just looked bad and took it out
