    Same principle as your example, I know which I prefer!

              Now if they did an extended obstacle course you could race along, that would be fun. No big set piece puzzles with individual solutions but lots of minor obstacles that you need to design a really versatile contraption to complete.

                  Cool idea. If someone pays the $10 they can create custom levels that I believe anyone can use (not sure about that though).
