Contraption Challenge 18: Bomb Transporter

Logo-760x189.png

 

Happy 2013 everyone! It seems strange to be wishing you a happy new year in March but it goes to show how long it’s been since we did one of these. Thank you to everyone who’s contacted us over the last few months – it’s great to hear that so many of you are still eager to take part and with that in-mind, let’s not waste any more time…

Your task this time is to build a vehicle capable of safely transporting some very delicate cargo… a gigantic and rather deadly bomb of the could-explode-at-any-random-time variety!!

 

But that’s not all! We want you to transport this bomb over three obstacles specifically designed to make this job much more difficult (because we’re evil like that). The bomb will explode if it’s shaken too much or comes to a sudden stop too quickly, so we’re looking for a contraption that carries it carefully rather than quickly.


For this challenge we’re providing a few objects which you must use; the bomb and three obstacles which you must place in the path of your contraption in any order. These can all be collected in our Contraption Challenge 18 Toolkit level.

 

Once the contest closes, we’ll play all the levels and choose our five favourites. It will then be over to you guys and gals to vote and decide the winner. Thanks to the lovely LittleBigPlanet Community Team, all five finalists will receive an LBP Cap and the new Emergency Services costume and kart packs. The winner will also receive a Rare Prize Crown and the Contraption Challenge in-game pin. Check-out this haul…

Head over to this post for all the information you need to take part.

 

There's also a Q&A over there which should answer most of the questions you might have, but if you have any more please post them in this thread or in the comments on the Rocket Cheetah article.

aw man! I've been waiting every single day since the last one ended!

I'm so entering this! alright, my question..you're diagram uses a truck and you consistanely use the word "Drive". does this mean it must be on wheels? can I make a quadmech? I have a brilliant idea for one.

 

Edit: also another question, does the bomb box thing have to be loose? or can I grab or lock it in place so it kind of moves along with the vehicle?

It doesn't have to be on wheels, it just needs to travel along the ground. Walkers are fine.

You can grab/lock it. As long as it's not actually attached to the contraption with glue or anything.

hey sorry but I have another question (three in a row uninterupted!)

 

Does the bomb have to be visible at all times? I assume it would so you can tell if it blows up but just asking to make sure.

 

Edit: haha Nuclearfish, I just notice that you profile pic is Eleven's Sonic Screwdriver
