My Fantastic Contraptions

A collection of solutions for Fantastic Contraption:

My Solutions:

  • Tube – a minimal tube crawler.
  • U-Turn – a floppy, crawling chariot.
  • U-Turn (again)) – a simple cart which uses leverage to apply force on the ceiling.
  • Back and Forth – an awful contraption.
  • Back and Forth – a better version which uses many wheels for low friction, and no bridge.
  • Higher – a ridiculously simple stick-flicker.
  • Around the Bend – a tiny triangle that flops to change direction.
