That thing where the cloth starts inside the armadillo and makes it 'force' itself along got me thinking - how cool would it be if you could do it without 'cheating'

Anyone got a tale of success or failure to share?

Without some input of force the friction in the game will eventually rob your machine of all it's energy.
just wondering if it is possible to make a 'perpetual motion' machine, without using rockets or 'the force' perpetually (rockets to start it off is fine of course).

I think rockets are excluded in the original post. Also, without a "force" effect from the force bug it's impossible to build a perpetual motion machine due to friction losses. Anything that moves perpetually is experiencing a bug in the physics engine unless it uses rockets.

So that thing where the armadillo spins slowly when it's between two anchored metal plates is the force too huh?
