Next version should incorporate a cost/ solution element. Make no mistake they are fun and challenging, but to also trying to maintain efficancy.

How come the wheel comes apart at the last second?

i think when the forces get to strong, the construction just breaks/explodes. sometimes this causes the red ball to hit the target area, but its pure luck then 😉
but nice to see i got you all addicted as well 😀

but that doesn't complete the challenge...0 points... 🙂

you're right though, that is weird.

Any "tube solutions?" In my opinion it is the most difficult (especially if you don't see the little notch at the bottom right.)

This one is stunningly beautiful. One of the best and far far better than any I contrived. I posted a few, but nothing compares.

What is the significance of the blue lines? Are they supposed to represent water in a tube or something? I thought at first it was supposed to be like a drive belt but they all go the same direction from a focal point so that wasn't it. Your design is way cool though!
