My second entry for this round:
Click for massive, but if you can't see properly, its one of those massive brick chimneys mounted over 2 containers and 4 massive columns. Ladder cross-bracing FTW. The big swingy bit is mounted on ropes and backed up by a thruster, where it falls back again on its own momentum and smashes things to little pieces. The little black thing by the near corner is a combine for scale purposes.

For the love of all this is holy, why are Xfire hosting screenshots as pngs? Do they have excess bandwidth to burn?
However: Woo to your massive machine. And Yay to Killa's treb that nearly almost worked properly!

I don't have much to compete with the awesome might of those machines, as I've been treading the path of rather weak slingshots. Instead have another catalogue of fails:

That is ace Berk. I can see it is reset by thrusters, but what triggers it? Is it just elastic powered?

thrusters and elastic make it go (the elastic holds it in it's reset place too)

Would it make sense to save all these files, and have them lined up in a map, and we could all try to run past them all or something?

Unfortunately you can only save the map instance, rather than your creation
If we wanted to play with them all together on our birthday bash they'd have to be made from scratch. It could be done I guess, with two people at the top of the map making things, and everyone else talking to each other and singing songs about horses at the bottom. Two machines at a time shouldn't create very much lag, and we'd all be able to enjoy them.

Regardless of the inventor, this is a fucking ace idea and I vote for it!
I reckon on purely mechanical/physics based things, no thrusters allowed, apart from possibly a little shove to get things going.

i'd rather construct something proper. Those machines are largely based on the amount of time you can be bothered to spend making them.
