A pretty minimal approach to "Back And Forth":

[Janus]

Heh. You guys have 'economy' covered. I've got 'most complex' covered. Mine usually look like caterpillar tanks driving over conveyor belts. I'm particularly pleased with the 'Awash' one, which acts more like a Mole-people tunneler.

It very similar to a solution I used. Here's another way to do it:

[Hurkyl]

I finally shunk my back-and-forth vehicle:
http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=775426

And a slight variant that keeps the vehicle with the wheel all the way through:
http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=775541

But this bridge for it is more fun:
http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=775489
(and it stays in the goal)

Did anybody find an elegant solution to the Handling problem ?
Mine is a bit "brute force" :
http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=763519
or
http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=763903

I kind of like your first solution.

I used torque and a lever: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=780946

 

[BobG]

But more fun is when things that appear not to work out, do so still

Do you move a lot of couches?

 

[BobG]

Feet are better on stairs than wheels. And he stays in the goal.

Better foot technology: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=782042

He doesn't stay in the goal, but he climbs the stairs better.

He doesn't stay in the goal, but he climbs the stairs better.

http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=782467
And now he gets stuck at the goal.

Whoops, I lied. After watching it for several minutes and posting here... I turn back just in time to find that it escaped.

A little overcomplicated logroller (balancing this was tough).

Janus, you've started a very bad thing and I now think my job is on the line. I showed this to one of the engineers at work and it's since spread to the entire engineering department, administration, electrical, and the CAD and CNC departments.

No one is actually working anymore. It's a disease.

I loved the way it picks up the target, delivers it to the destination, and destroys itself

 

[BobG]

I chose to race the big ball in that one.
http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=672568

That's also the first solution I managed to make work.

You can just lift it out of the way: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=765309

I was trying to use wheels to lift it up...
http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=798185
couldn't get it to work. The wheels started fighting with each other.. and after some minutes, violet ones won.

Who has the simplest design for the above one?

 

[B. Elliott]

You can just lift it out of the way: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=765309

Or you can lift it out of the way while also tossing two balls over the edge.:D

*edit* never mind. Forgot to save the link before I closed it.

And now he gets stuck at the goal.

Whoops, I lied. After watching it for several minutes and posting here... I turn back just in time to find that it escaped.

What's the solution that gets to the goal in the shortest time, and stays there?

I've got 6 sec, but I'm sure that can be bettered.

For this
I think I have the most efficient design, currently :)

http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=799086

more simpler
http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=799331

mine simplest:

This makes it well behaved:

[Janus]

Not the most simple, but just because I could.

LOL

it looks more like a basketball game!

And a variation of the last one:

[out of whack]

Janus, you've started a very bad thing [...]

Yes, he must be evil!

Janus, for your punishment, take THAT: http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=802699"

EDIT: I won't even come close to your intricate clockwork systems!

 

[Sakha]

For the new level U turn i made http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=802818" pretty simple design.

 

[rootX]

For the new level U turn i made http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=802818" pretty simple design.

I made this
http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=803284
It would be quite a work to keep the target inside the target area

 

[Janus]

Here's one for the "Tube"

http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=803357

Keeping it in the goal.

http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=803267

 

[Janus]

Obviously not simple, but attacks it from a different direction and keeps it in the goal.

Simple and keeps it in the goal:
