      A little no tricks fun for your day after Easter. In my neck of the woods, today is a much better egg hunting day than yesterday was anyway ... :) Some stability issues led to this second iteration ...
    • Meko Guy
      You still have stability issues. On my 1st go, I figured that a ball needed to go after the mech - wasn't right so restarted. The vertical mech that moves with a ball drop didn't move. Restarted and the same - figured that I missed a ball or something but didn't see it. Restarted and it moved but when I got to the falling mech, it moved only a bit but didn't fall. B banged it many times and just stood there - nothing. Not wanting to start again, rammed it with B a few more times and finally, B won.

      @Meko Guy Thanks for trying. On my device in all modes, the mech is about as reliable as they ever are (you can always freeze a mech if you drop the ball in at just the right moment). Yeah, that egg beater column takes a couple of tries now and then, but I've found it generally rewards patience.

      No stability problems here... the knockable took a couple of shots to get it to fall - interesting ramp - and the ball that triggers the mech (which was smooth) isn't easy to see. Had to restart because I hit that one ball too soon, but after that it was easy enough - B found all the eggs, and he had fun with that useful gate. :thumbsup:

      @Don G Rowe - I don't use mechs with balls very often as the level will be built and then it stops working for some reasons so I tend to skip them altogether.
    • Don G Rowe
      @Meko Guy I hear you. I've abandoned quite a few of my own designs for that exact same reason. The mech works when installed, but then as you build out around it it starts freezing. :rolleyes:
    • D.S.Masters
      @Don G Rowe No matter how cleanly you build a mech, if the ball hits the sled and the pusher at the same time, it freezes the whole thing. Sometimes it will unfreeze itself, but that can take 30 seconds or more, so it's just easier to restart.

      No egg hunts here today - it's pouring out, with high winds... and with the stay at home orders, no school, and the weather, everybody and their brother is online, making things very slow.

      Yes, I got the eggs

      drop the mech pillar first then the ball ...
      Great idea

      And you make me hungry now:D
      Thanks for sharing

      Very enjoyable level. No stability issues, albeit that it was not easy to make the pillar fall.

      B found all the eggs, :D:D. Glad there was lots of running around for him to do, he will need some exercise if he eats all those, ;):rotf:!

      Everything worked smoothly, (when I did everything in the right order that is! )

      We had a lovely sunny weekend here. No egg hunts, but I did get a lot of gardening done, :D!

      Very entertaining & FUN logic level...Thanks for sharing @Don G Rowe ;)

      Took dozens of rams by B to get the falling pillar to drop. If there is a more elegant way to drop the pillar I couldn’t find it!

      @Oily Jake There isn`t a better way. You just have to be patient. :)
