Looks to me like the Paddyz1 method is to stick as many wheels as possible on it

You have to. I tried with less and kept trying till I got it. Been at it for ages. Mission to mars was hard

Yeah multiple wheels are needed to get enough power for some of them or to get power down on the ground when climbing over things.
I've developed similar tactics!

That one was a bit of fun
I made a complete ring of wheels that continually spun round the green circle and a mechanism to fling the block out into the goal

mission to mars easy. 4 joined wheels tightly around the big green ball. they then spin indefinatly around it then, then attach long pole to pink thing. Sorta swings it around like a flial. Im very much stuck on "big ball" at the mo. Brill for keeping me entertained till i get outta plaster though
