Isn't this the same as a catapult? the whole vehicle is being thrown

It would be more challenging to build one vehicle that could get over all those balls

The vehicle is driving up a moving platform, it clearly isn't anything like a catapult. :confused:

And thus you're clearly not getting ripped off as you claim

As a concept yeah I'm certainly copying other designs but what I was saying was that Kreeeee just took the one I submitted and edited it a bit

Modified that for a bit more speed...

Although it breaks my own rule

I can't get it any faster 4.7 by my stop watch finger

No, because the game will run at different speeds on different machines as stated.

I did agree with kaiowas

It was more to be anal and be sure of how long it takes for the top few, I know what some people on here are like.

Should have done Unpossible for this competition, would be much more interesting and much more varied designs.

Then again im interested to see the winner of this

Added you on MSN so I can send my design secretly to stop it getting ripped off again

I'm not in this competition as there's not much point, being able to copy peoples designs.

Ah I thought you were suggesting we record our own top speeds, which would still succumb to processing speed differences.

dunno if this is classed as a catapult or not but its hard to think of better ones without pretty much copying the fastest so far

I'd have gone for Awash, less scope for avoiding the balls plus it's generally a slower level so the winners would likely be seperated by seconds rather than the odd tenth like we're getting here making it a bit more obvious who is winning, not sure how the times are being measured but unless it's automated there's plenty of scope for big enough errors to affect the outcome.

Haha I didn't think this would work...

ATTAAAACK!

EDIT: Damn, wrong thread...
