Re: Fantastic Contraption
Took a couple hours but here is my solution to Tube. After solving it with my design I looked and seems most people went for a platform to start off of. I like my power design better

Re: Fantastic Contraption
I'm talkin about not using any kind of traction vehicle on the walls. Maybe a trampoline, verticle trebuchet, wall walker, etc. Originally Posted by WhiskeySix

Re: Fantastic Contraption
I tried a winch and stick approach and came up just short. I gave up on it, but I think the idea has potential.

I tried a hoist a while back, but couldn't get the footing... saved it as a WIP: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1025346
I just took 15 minutes to fix the base and tweaking a few things and finally got it working: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1246126
