It's not a Trek game, but it is a game. I'll let the mods decide if it belongs in another forum.

This is a very addictive game. Thanks for posting it!

Have learned to boycott many years ago anything with the caption "physics is fun" - thank you Standard Grade physics education!

It is quite fun actually.

I especially like building complex machines like these:

OTOH I've seen some of the contraptions people built in their forums. Now those are complex.
For example this one: http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=79465

I'm proud of this one for "Back and Forth"

Pure Evil. I'm not addicted to the game, I can quit any time.







In fact, I quit 27 times just yesterday.



ps The "Unpossible" level is even more evil than you are for showing me this forsaken game!

Unpossible had me stumped for quite a while. I came up with a solution but it is not very elegant. http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=334967

Yeah, I finally got it. I didn't save anything though. I used a crawler and chain method similar to yours. My design was different in that my ramp levered up to the top of the wall.

What I'd designed had one counter-rotating wheel on the aft end on a chain that would drag my crawler and payload back into the goal zone. I wasn't counting on the "roll off" factor on the chain design vs the edge. The payload got there, just in passing instead of staying there like I'd intended.

Fun stuff!
