I have started the simplicity wars!
May we all perish in these flames, gentlemen!

Congratulations, lethal.

I'll just stand by, thankless, while you fight each other. Mwahaha.

Trumped fuckers! http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=748312

Edit: And since I won that round, I choose the next level. I vote for Up The Hump. Do it now!

I just did it with 4 pieces. I'll post the link after the rest of you have had a shot at it. I think since I picked the level if someone else can do it with 4 pieces before seeing my solution they get to win.

The best I've been able to come up with so far for the hump is 6.

Still working on a better simple Hump. (Why does that line sound copied from a spambot?).

But I was able to make a more simple Handling, using only 5 pieces (2 wheels, 3 rods). http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=809290

Edit: Simple Hump. 4 pieces. 2 rods, 2 wheels. http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=809463
Actually it was really very similar to my 6 piece one, just adapted to use the square as two rods. Not sure how I didn't see that fix earlier.

here's my hump with 4: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=809568
also a 1 for around the bend using the twobuy method: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=809682
also a 3 for full up: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=809733

edit: Also, it isn't simple, but I'm pretty proud of my back and forth solution: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=810366

So I had a post up about a different method to Around the Bend using only one.
This one, not using the twobuy-method. http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=810303
Amazed that no one, including me, had even thought of it before, too distracted by the stuff to use, and not using simple gravity.
And then I realized that I was still too distracted.
I give you... Around the Bend: Unplugged.

Ruo: I liked the way it all seemed to unfold like some G.I.Joe command center. Also the way of propelling the ball up the hill was awesome.
I was quite happy with mine, simply because it was my initial thought, and about 4 minor changes and I got it to work.

They added a new level!
A pretty simple solution, methinks: http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=822769
