I CANNOT BELIEVE this is an actual Poly Bridge 3 custom level!

[@alexandratsankova5825]

there actually is a way to create a "hydraulic" that retracts 100% If you make an isosceles triangle, where the base is 4/3 the length of the sides (aka like sides being 3 length wood and a 50% expanding hydraulic of length 4 on the base) after the hydraulic expands, the triangle will squish into a line If you mirror this into a diamond pattern, you'll get a 4-sided shape, where after the hydraulic expands, 2 of the points will overlap. if you stack this shape over and over you'll get a long rope that squishes down into nothing.

[@MattJDylan]

You seems confident in it being a thing and this sound useful, so I'll leave a like even though I understood nothing of it lol

[@shiah]

​@@MattJDylan it's like /\ / \ / \ ------------ \ / \ / \ / Imagine the middle line being 4/3 size of the sides' size. When you expand that line by 50%, it'll be 6/3 of the size, meaning the whole thing will fold into a long line like that ╱╲ ╱ ╲ --------------------- ------------------------------- ╲ ╱ ╲ ╱

For me the counterweight solution you attempted was much more interesting than the extremely basic hydraulic elevator. I'm sad that you couldn't manage to make it work

Foundation in the middle would have reduce the angle and possibly allowed the cable solution to work.

Surprised on that last level he didn't attempt an extreme spring cannon with the space beneath the G wagon.

[@enochofmi]

For that last one, I think you might have been able to do it with the cable chain if you had a joint at each junction, a joint at an anchor, and a joint on a hydraulic which kept extending, grabbing, pulling, letting go, with the anchor holding it steady whenever the hydraulic let it go.

[@MrNukealizer]

That's an option if there were a lot more hydraulic phases, but there was only one.

[@jeffreyblack666]

An Engineer would understand geometry and how it can be used to make something contract to less than half their size, with the power of triangles (and rhombuses). Especially as it is really easy. If you have a rhombus, with all 4 sides 1 unit long, with a horizontal brace made of hydraulics, initially 1 u long which expands to 2 units, then the vertical distance goes from If you have a haudralic initially 1 u long, and have it expand to 2 units long; then the vertical height will start out as 1.7 (ish) units long, and shrink to 0.

[@vdp673]

Before seeing the anchors up in the sky I was thinking you should be able to 90% of the way wil the legendary hydraulic muscle and then mabye the other 10% with springs

[@Error-rk3df]

I want to see you succeed the counterweight lift I think the major problem was the 90° bend on the sides of the cliff so maybe a curved bridge at the top supported by a few braces on the side would to the trick It should be build quite a bit higher than the flat spot as its only there to guide the tether If you make it move you might even be capable to park the car up there

[@jonathanbutler6635]

I know you used the g-wagon song several times for the first bridge but with the second rainbow one I think it would have been cool. But these bridges are amazing.

[@paisleystillman6877]

We need another version of the final map with rounded edges and the flag on the middle! Let's see if RCE's solution would work for that!

[@GoSlash27]

I think the chain/ counterweight idea could've worked. You just needed to round off the corners at the top with some steel truss.

[@jannikf2504]

I think the solution might be not to pull down on the opposite end, but build the weight far out to the side and it already pulls while it drops without even touching the corner

I feel like a lift configuration would also have been possible for the tower level with pushing hydraulics to make a tower, and ropes/pulling hydraulics to lift the car

[@whata1b263]

You could have used hydraulic muscles to lift the G-Wagon without using the top nodes. It would most likely be cheaper.

[@A350Avgeek]

15:50 you could just have made little bump with some pieces of wood and a road and then the yellow dots (I forgot their name) will not get stuck on the side

[@Planeandtrains]

the yellow things are nodes

[@kingcrack4422]

the cable style you did.. i would make an arch on top of the big pillar, so the cable can slide nicely... please try it.

[@nifegun]

The counter weight thing could work. You need to build supports that hang on the corner and get rotated around as the weight falls. Thing is you'll end up trebucheting the car lol

[@Efenium]

[@ish00tcake1st]

On the last level, you can adjust the hydraulics with the arrow like you can with the springs so therefore it is possible
