How did the crazy wheel get there? I mean, anyone can make that in 10 minutes. It doesn't even do anything once it touches water!
And the carriage is cool, but all it does when it touches water is raise two walls. Some other things (like crazealec's submission) were better than the carriage and wheel COMBINED! Anyways, the Land/Sea vessel gets my vote..

EDIT: If i could vote..

Land / Sea Vessel should clearly be the winner, imo. That thing is awesome.2010-03-11 20:23:00

I totally agree. Even my pathetic efforts were better than those. Whoever picked that wheel as a finalist is just taking the pee! What's the point bothering putting time and effort into something when you can just make crap like that ?

Thanks to you too!! I'm quite proud to have got into the finals, but it looks like the second one is going to win, if not then the last will do it... It was fun taking part though!

We shall see that, but honestly, I don't think I have much chances for winning. Even after I got to the final, there haven?t been much plays on my contraption, maybe 20 and no single comment It surely tells how interested people are of it. But anyway, it's enough for me that I get to the final, because my contraption Artemis was the first vehicle I build in lbp, so getting it to the final is more than enough for me : ) I also learned a lot of new things, since transformation system was something I've never tried and now I feel like that I want create more vehicles that transforms : D I really enjoyed it ^^

I actually like the crazy wheel, of course it's really simple made but amongst of all those wheel entries, its clearly the best of them. It may be really simple, but it's also cleverly designed and as a wheel it's not even bad looking at all. Even simple can be good guys, if you put some effort to it

I agree. Well, obviously I would, as it was my decision to make it a finalist.

The thing to remember is that the contraptions don't have to be extremely complicated or have been worked on for days. The simple designs can often be the best, and the wheel is different from everything else (and if you've played all the other wheel contraptions you'll immediately know that this one is so much better in every way). And don't forget there's only so much you can do to make a wheel look good, it's hardly a design that's going to take hours and hours to make.

Lies! My wheel was much more stylish and well designed!

But still, some people worked hard for theirs, and then someone makes a wheel, makes it polystrene so it will float, and it makes a finalist. Thats just stupid. Candy_King_Alecs was simple and did way much more. Nuclear, you chose poorly.2010-03-12 18:22:00

I didn't play all 1045 levels. The levls were splt up to be judged and rated, and I only had a small portion to play through, then I played the top 50ish and picked the finalists. Candy_King_Alecs wasn't among the ones I played.

Believe me, it's extremely hard judging these. It may sound simple enough but it isn't (particualrly considering we had to play them all within a week). Difficult decisions have to made, and not everybody is going to agree with them.

Me too! It's actually my second vehicle, the first i made was an imitation of the truck used in the logic pack. I think i pulled it off rather well too...
And this land / sea vessel is the most complex thing i have ever made! (even more complex since i updated it today) and i'm really proud of it!

I'm surprised the finalists aren't getting many votes... I suppose it's because of the voting limitations... Asbestos101 had a great idea, and it's earned him 25 votes already!! My my!

We're joint second so that's an achievement on top of getting in the finals! *opens imaginary champagne* ^^

Also, thanks to this competition, i got enough plays and hearts to get the Little Big Planet Platinum trophy!! FINALLY!! Thanks guys ^^

BUT still. all you have to do is make a wheel with spokes, make ANOTHER smaller wheel, attach the wheels together, put a switch to start the motor bolts, and there you have it. Some people worked hard for days to get theirs done, and some of those you HAD to play. It seemed you either rushed, werent in the mood, or barely played an levels >:|2010-03-13 19:43:00

Yes, I definately did play some levels people must have worked a long time on. One in particular must have taken ages, and did everything you could almost ever want from a vehicle, and it looked very nice too. But as an amphibious vehicle it didn't really do anything interesting, it just floated along the surface.

What I'm trying to say is that this isn't a competition where you're judged on how long something took to make. It's an event a lot more people will want to enter because they don't have to spend days or weeks making a whole level, they can put a decent contraption together in an hour or two. I'm not saying it's worthless spending a long time on it, in general the ones that took longer to make are much better that those that didn't. But sometimes the simple ones that use great ideas are much more interesting.

Now, is a wheel actually interesting? Well, it's certainly different from all the other finalists, and the use of an extra wheel to keep it stable makes it stand out from all the other wheel contraptions. It also looks a lot better than hundreds of entries which clearly were quick to make - just a bit of pink floaty a rocket and some rubber circles for wheels. At least more thought and effort went into making Crazy Wheel look and work the best it could. And if you look at the votes, it's clear some people like it anyway.

But that is all it does. Float along. It should atleast do SOMETHING when it comes in contact with water :/2010-03-14 00:57:00
