Right - that's all of them done .... might go back to see whether I can tidy some of them up though.

Must also look at Paddy's (I've only looked at the first few) - will be interesting to see where we are similar and where we've got it to work differently.

Anyway, here are my contraptions:

Thought about tinkering with it, but if it ain't broke, don't fix it :smt002

(Ricky Gervais. Cheeky git)

Done most of them, just need to do Back & Forth, Unpossible and U-Turn. Trying not to look at anyone else's either, be interesting to compare after the event

I'll look forward to seeing yours when they're ready :smt003

I've started again but set myself the extra challenge of getting the object to stop in the "Goal" rather than just passing through it.

So far so good but there are some that I really have no idea how I can manage it.

Anyone got to THE TUBE yet? It looks impossible to me, you have to climb straight up the inside of a tube. Been stuck on this one for an hour.

OK - I said I was going to set myself the challenge of completing these but with the object coming to rest in the goal rather than disappearing off into oblivion .... I knew it was going to be hard and I've not done it yet .... but I've only got 4 to go (although they are a particularly difficult 4 .....).
