Fantastic Contraption - the best game you're not playing

It's a game where you build little things that transport a piece to a goal area. The pieces involve physics and design, and it's a lot of fun. You might think it is simple and there's not much to do, but there is a ton of possibilities, and you only need to see user designs to be convinced.

I got stuck on the Big Ball level

 

[Syterion]

The simple way is to make a stack of 3 or four cars and out race the ball there. Alternate ways are catapulting it there or simply making something that can force the ball up. None of them are even close to the Tube in difficulty.

EDIT: I like just smacking it in

or rolling it

The tube has a very simple solution that involves 4 extra pieces. Unpossible and awash seemingly guarentte quite complex designs. I do like the game.

Got into it a couple of months ago and bought an account to show my love. Fantastic game

 

[Syterion]

Yeah, designs for the tube can be simple, but the level of precision involved in the tube is way higher than it is for unpossible or awash. There are so many times I've been this close to making it and it slips and falls.

I hate this game, specifically because I can't get past that damn Junkyard level.

 

[Syterion]

Wow, you suck. Just make a vehicle. And you can skip any level.

 

[Civfan333]

Flaming people isn't cool, in fact it's for trolls. Are you a troll? but anyway, I love this game!

I finally got past up the steps

Wow, you suck. Just make a vehicle. And you can skip any level.

Yep, I suck. I just can't see how to make it work, and things I do try normally fail miserably.

 

[IronMan2055]

If I remember correctly I made some thing like this, D = box X = Wheel

D X X X X
X X X X X

But all connected of course...


edit, there was spacing so it doesn't look like how I made it, but that should still work...

That wasn't a flame, I was just kidding.
Here are some solutions:

http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=3527449 - Very odd solution to the tube level. Takes a while but its worth watching.

The Jump the Hump level's got me stumped.
