Contraption Challenge

This one is harder than I thought. Contraption building is tricky. The falling object generator occasionally vanishes random blocks. Gave up on using block ramps because the Random chest that drops in Toy Boxes kept manifesting in ramps and blocking rolling objects.

I've spent the better part of an hour trying to get a basket ball through a series of ramps and into a hoop.

I think I'm probably doing a series of contraptions each one on an island and blocking access to the following island until the contraption is successfully executed.

So far I have one island and one functioning contraption.

I'm having The same problems. Falling object generator keeps deleting half my room, The balls taking unpredictable bounces. I think I may have to make the dynamic stuff just for show and use logic connections to keep things moving,

@Father saving helps prevent the block deletion. But its getting tedious having to save and then load the board just to test a falling object generator without deleting things.

The basketball acts unpredictably and sometimes doesn't make the hoop. Baseball works the same way every time in my second contraption island. Must be the "bounce" of the basketball that causes the unpredictability.

thanks I'll try that.

baseballs worked great thanks. finished and submitted. 11 hours and 244 logic connections. I think I need to get out more lol.

How do you get the camera to follow the ball?

Wow... you guys use so many logic connections... I'm like in awe. I checked my online profile and my lifetime stats are...

Building Stats
Blocks Placed: 3677
Total Logic Connections Made: 377
Most Logic Connections Made: 8

Yah... I'm not too good with the logic connections... the most I had in 1 map is 8 if I'm reading that right.

I entered it on Friday mines called EPIC CONTRAPTION so look out for it.

@xshadow246 Just played your contraption! It looks like it came in #5 and it was wonderfully done! Loooove the clock. Very original.
