Yeah, this thing is insanely addictive!

Some of my more interesting designs (if I do say so myself)....

Simple walker
Stairs solution
Down under without a chain attached to the ball
Blocking ball (this was all of 15 seconds to build and solve)
Up the hump using just two wheels with nice suspension
4 balls : Not the most time efficient, but very power efficient
Tube done with three power balls (EDIT: NOT two *doh!*)
Mind the gap: simple and fast
Back and forth: not the most elegant, but it worked.
Handling: It took me a long time to get this one, but I think it's a pretty good solution using a counter weight to swing the piece back into place.
Unpossible
