I just had a win on "Handling":2tsup: yeeehaaa
you bast##d you had to go and find me yet another way to waste my time AAARRGGHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh dear. The jobs will have to wait. :;
Bugger you Underfoot!!
In the nicest possible way
Can one of you bloody genius types give me a hint how I get past the "Mission To Mars" level????
Underfoot, you are a mongrel and I hate you!!!
Make that "BIG BALL"
Wait to you get to "handling":banghead:Quote:

i got through this one by building a vehicle to carry the block to the goal. On the front I built a kind of bulldozer with reverse wheels on it. drove casually over and rolled the big ball up the wall...:2tsup:
Stuck on "under" now:((
Peter.
this is an absolute f####g waste of time why cant i stop going back for more
I will try that then, I have been trying to squeeze the "thing" under the ball... I can get the blasted thing 2 thirds of the way in!
Strewth, finally! Now "4 balls" has mine in a twist
Think Pinwheel...Quote:

Well done...... you have me thinking way outside any square now!
Well done!
help hints for the tube level cannot do it
good one chris, just about identical to mine except for the short wood posts on the top row of wheels:2tsup:Quote:

fubar, (tube level)
I positioned a row of wheels on either side of the tube (pink on left yellow on right)
then a row of non turning blue ones down the centre
joined them all by triangulating to the centre blues
the weight of the blues push the drive wheels against the tube walls and it goes UP
:)
OK, I've managed to get as far as tube... I need a hint here too, I must be the most unmechanical bod there is!
This is just so much fun though, I got "handling" without hint and feel like dancin!
thanks for that didnt think of using non turning in the middlieQuote:

i did the same. took a bit of fine tuning. you have to get the blues slightly above center on teh side ones so tehy press out. to far up and they puss down and to low they fold up.:2tsup:Quote:
