i'm stuck, can someone post a TUBE solution? i know what i want to do but can't get it to work.

That's cheating! :eek:

If you insist, here's a few solutions from earlier in the thread. You can pretty much ignore my first one as sometimes it just explodes and doesn't win. :roll: The last one I posted is the pretty typical design I saw when browsing other peoples designs.

I got something that works sometimes:

I'm embarrassed at myself for how simple other people's designs are... :oops:

All right, just got the tube. I started out with some pretty hefty and elaborate designs... ended up with something following the same sort of mechanics I originally had, but a much simpler design:

It took me a few tries to get it right, I may have given up if I didn't know it was possible from seeing other people's designs. The trick I learned was to zoom in as much as you can, that allows you to move the objects in smaller increments to get them closer to the wall....

Thanks for the tip! ;)

I sent my roommate the link as soon as I saw it... he beat all the levels, now he is trying to beat them all without using any wheels.

He's beaten a bunch of them so far, but is stuck on four balls.
