Fantastic Contraption

I'm pretty sure this is the best flash game I've ever played. It's basically a physics game where you have to move an object towards a goal around various obstacles by building a machine out of simple bits and pieces. I've wasted a lot of time in class on this. Don't say I didn't warn you!

That warning is well founded. I thought I would try it out, but ended up spending an hour going through the first dozen levels. The later levels are surprisingly difficult.

Here is what I have for Down Under.

I know I am on the right track, I just can't figure out how to swap the goal ball with the blue roller.

EDIT: Never mind, I was making it much harder than it had to be.

Yeah, that one is extremely difficult. Haven't even gotten close to beating that one.

Other later levels aren't nearly that bad though. Like the last one for instance:
