After the four balls I had to put it down for awhile. Your design Landraider was kind of what I had going but it just kept collapsing. My design was decent but my build was flawed.

Took me an hour to figure out you could move the pink object before you hit start!

I did'nt know that until "big ball"

I was amazed how far you could get just building a high clearance 4x4 type vehicle with some boards attached to the wheels. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> It will just buck and jump all over the place until it gets where it needs to go. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />

On "mission to mars" I just made a lever that had four wheels attaedh to the right side for weight. When it dropped it hit the ball at the fulcrum and hit the pink square into the endzone. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />

That was the concept I started with last night, but I couldn't get it to work then. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" /> I finally made it work, but you have to get the distances and linkages juuuuuuuuust right. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
