Challenge #8: Golems Triathlon!

All users new and old are invited to submit a machine to the 8th Golems Challenge!



In Challenge #8, you need to create a machine that can climb over a wall, traverse an obstacle course, and cross a pit. You may NOT use rockets, force beams, or any static components, and your machine cannot attach to the floor. Your machine has to start entirely contained within the vertical space above the green starting area and must finish in the checkered section of the track, leaving no components behind. You may use motors, sensors, etc - just not rockets or force beams. Also, you may not adjust the gravity settings.

Start your machine with the following .mchn file: http://www.golemgame.com/challenge/08/Challenge8.mchn

Those are the only rules. You have a month (until 11:59 pm on the 1st of March, GMT) to submit your machine file on the forum. You may make as many submissions as you like; you may work in teams or alone. You will be judged for: Originality, design, and for capturing the judges’ attention and interest.

Hi all,
very nice level, I'll start building my machine tomorrow... (this looks pretty complicated, so I like it )

I realise this probably isn't quite what you were after, but it's 2am and it made me laugh.

It does 'climb over a wall, traverse an obstacle course, and cross a pit.', just not perhaps in the expected fashion.

Here is my first submission for this challenge. There are 8 wheels per side, each with gripping ability. The spine bends to allow for the mound to be climbed over, but also has a rigid segment to allow for vertical climbing and ditch crossing. Also features self-steering to keep on course.



Thanks. Feel free to comment.

Hmm, might it "climb" under the course?
Or jump right over everything?

Hehe, simplicity
(Long time ago i wrote something, i've done tries in the 2 latest challenges, without any good succes ^^ )

Here is my second submission for this challenge. This is a tread design with blades (thus the name "BladeBot") that can climb over anything.



EDIT: VERSION 6 HAS BEEN POSTED AS WELL AND IS BETTER.
