Some selected solutions:
$48, arguably the most intuitive "cheap" solution:

$56, still somewhat intuitive:

$58, very strange, but probably the cheapest version where Armadillo actually rests at the end (anyone actually did something like this?):
Image
$66, the surprisingly simple current winner (and most likely cheapest possible version):

I haven't tried it, but I assume the metal plate accelerates Armadillo so that he can make it to the net - without it, he won't go far enough.
