Not really. This was one of the first ones I tried and I did it in about 5-6 minutes or so. The solution for this one (to me) came right away. I think with a little tweeking it could be made alot smoother. I have seen some others that were really cool and totally different approach.

That is what makes this thing so fun.....is all the different approaches that people take and still accomplish the goal.

This took some great thought, I burned a couple of brain cells on this one.

My favorite level is the one where you have to plow through all the ***** that are rolling down at you.

I wanted to make something that would plow all the ***** up the hill and off...

I got it to do that with all but one of them.

It has seven drive wheels, and a total of 13 wheels that are powered, 6 of them are in the air, but linked to the other wheels. All the wheels are "chained" together. So if each "wheel" had 50HP, this would have a total of 650HP .

Its pretty cool to watch it work.

Here it is.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS TO GET IT TO WORK! READ:

It has so many beams and wheels and stuff that it "breaks" the whole game on the first try - all the ***** get sucked down into the rectangle and everything gets crushed. The driveline will bind once for about 10 seconds. It will unbind.

So, press start, and everything will fall into the rectangle. As soon as you press start, press on the red 90* arrow in the upper right hand corner. Then, press start again and it will work.
