I've found that a good way of rolling the armadillo is an angled metal sheet falling from a height. Anyone else have any clever tricks?

Try looking at all the solutions for the previous contest levels. I think you'll see just about every trick in the book there.

The falling sheet is quite popular :)

My favourite one in that vein is Toa's solution to Level 14 - Nudge.

He nudges the armadillo over the hill using just a metal bar!


Probably the most useful 'trick' that I have learned from these forums is to use 'lifts' which swivel around a central anchor point - have a weight on one end and the armadillo on the other.

I'm quite happy with that one myself :)

Wow. That is clever. How many days of moving the bar slightly did that take? :P
