I got 15...use a pendulum.

Any hints for 14 though, I kind of skipped that one.

I agree on the studying...

For 13, go the unexpected way and follow the hint for 12.

BTW, said hint is pretty nifty in many parts of this game. So are counter-rotating wheels.

(No, I'm not going to give a full answer! Why ruin the fun?)

P.S. Anyone have any hints on 15?
i have a hint for 15 but don't want to give too much info, how about this think about a robot from 2007 FRC game reaching for the top row but tipping over

edit: 14 was a fun one to make, i'll give you a hint how i made mine, use the counter clock wise wheels, i have my design saved if you want to see it let me know

Same here, though I skipped ahead and did some of the later ones too. The big ball really annoys me.

Re: A fun online physics game

Here's what I got (months ago) for 14: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=924475

And 12, since it came up: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=4344391

Also, do yourself a favor and spring for the paid version. The epic-to-fail ratio is not as good as the standard levels, but there are some really neat challenges beyond.

Re: A fun online physics game

It includes a solution to thirteen that is somewhat unique. There are many ways of doing it, but I've yet to see another that does it quite this way.
http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=4354497
Hope you all enjoy.

P.S. The idea behind this design can be used for many of the stages. This stage just highlights it the best.

Capture the ball with counter-rotating wheels. Then transport it. You may or may not wish a bridge. (I didn't use one.)
