Naming convention is:
[Time Score]-[Money left]-[YourForumName]-[SolutionName]

GMT Time link: http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/

The level represents a factory. A factory where dillos are manufactured.
The manufacturing process is composed of 6 stages: molding, painting, drying, elasticity and quality test, polishing and storage.
The factory was doing beautifully, In fact it was doing so well that the competition decided they had to shut down the plant. They hired a few saboteurs for the job. These entered the factory at night and removed some vital mechanical parts of the equipments. As a consequence the factory came to a stand still.
Your mission, if you dare, is to identify which parts are missing, install them, and bring the plant back to operation.
Level has to be finished. Dillo has to reach the portal (storage).
You may build anything you want anywhere.
Keep in mind that in order to produce a dillo he has to pass thru all stages described above.
What counts as score is the time it takes to produce one dillo given by the Stop watch at level finish.
In case of a score tie, money left will be the decision factor.

Bring dillo back to life!

Nice concept and story

Amazing piece of armadillo art!

erm if its too much to ask dont bother, but if you can wolter can you create a diagram showing which stages are which? im not sure where to go...

Process flow scheme attached. Just click the picture to enlarge it.

k so basically fastest person to the finnish wins yeah

yeah

That is correct.
Rephrasing it just to avoid misunderstandings: The solution that takes the dillo from start to finish in the shortest time, indicated by the stopwatch at level finish, wins the contest.

20 seconds!

Hopefully improving lol

This was very fun. A good puzzle level. Now to tweak and make it fast.

Edit:
Those polishing cloths at the top are a pain.

Can we break the budget?

I am glad that you liked the level.
Lightning fast solution btw.

No, you can't go over budget.

Hmm, it seems for me that the problem is trying to get the dillo up at the right angle to break the metal bar and enter the polishing area. Once the dillo exits the drying area and goes to the launcher, I've found theres not much to be done with cloth to get it at the right angle. Also, I'm not sure if theres enough power to get it over the top as it is!!!

You have to AIM carefully( aim at the center of the rubber bouncy thing and you will get power). hehe.

15.90- Dark

ha!! thats quite a good time!! has cost ever come into it; i doubt someone will get the same score in milliseconds as another!
