    Does anybody have anything for tube?

    Here is what I have so far:

    Tri-Color

    Up Ramp

    See-Saw

    Jack and Jill ****

    The Prowler **

    Fate

    Ramrod **

    Easiest *****

    Wahoo


    I am incapable of figuring out the really hard designs at this point in time.

    A way to get through Awash with only 6 spinners. Takes a while, but it works!

    I got through Tube, but I didn't save it. 3 spinners in a triangle with the ball in the middle. Triangles are your friend here, you can walk up the walls like people do with their hands. You can stop up the bottom of the hole with a wood triangle, there is a little bit of a ledge.

    Edit-> here's a second take, not quite what i did first.

    Up the Stairs was annoying me. It's doable, but the usual contraptions were taking too long. Now I know why ED-209 couldn't use stairwells...

    So I made this one.

    Tube was one for me that was kick yourself simple once I got it, but it seemed impossible for quite awhile.

    Here is a solution for it using just 2 spinners and one stick. Simple, but boring.

    This tube design has a little more pizazz, I much prefer it.

    Thumbs up Re: Fantastic Contraption: Physics Puzzle Game

    Not only done it, but I have a solution for Unpossible that stays within the pink end zone.

    Got to say it is quite messy and inelegant.

    This is a copy of my favorite design. I did this, but the idea was already done and I copied it.
