Ok, Ive noticed that only half the box is anchored. I used that fact to get a 3830 Light.

Then I built this cool triggered device for 3860. I dont see a way to use only like 5-6 peices.

Even though you veterans cant compete, can thier solutions still be included to make all of us newbs feel dumb. Also to learn from thier style of course.

We dont really have a style; just experiment with different techniques really. Once you've found one that tweaks well, keep goin with it.. I found that with the current B contest i managed to recover about $1000 thru experimentatiion!!

Definitely listen to overlord. As a good rule of thumb, you should try to avoid breaking rubber. It's hard. And expensive. Especially if you know the level can be done w/o breaking it (Which you know since the level is doable for 70- $)

I think I can see what you are trying to do by effectively reversing the rubber (i think !!!) but cant seem to get it to do it

Ya I know what you mean. Everytime i make a level i try to take 2 or 3 or 4 patterns i know and put em all into one level. I think it makes it more fun. I also try to NEVER make the user have to build a pulley. I'm so sick of tweaking bar pullies and im sure im not alone -_-

I've got all the way around the rubber, but i can't create a good catcher. :(
Code: Select all
ww@localhost:echo $name

"\  /\  /  /\   |--  |--  |=   |\  |"
" \/  \/  /- \  |    |    |--  |  \|"

Done
