I can upload a larger version which I made for an A contest if I won. It has walls which aren't allowed to be touched as an extra rule to keep the context in place, but they could be removed if not allowed.

Level is hard to make it $50-, but easy to make it for $100+ so it's good for N league IMHO. I'm shure 972 is possible, but it is so hard to tweak...

I don't think A contests allow extra rules.

EDIT: I get to the end with 966, then it falls off. I'm too lazy to tweak it.

For the first time ever I see the method you guys are talking about using for those scores. I don't have the patience to get said scores, but I see how.

Epiphany.

I'll take pride in announcing the first actual N-contestant score of 960.

it is just the amount of money left when you're done. Some contests have a little more complex setup for scores such as [money left over] times [the amount of time] for example. However the host usually explains how to do that when it comes up in a competition.

BTW, Mine still stands at 868 light and takes 4 or 5 seconds to get there as that is the real score, and I like this solution of mine :) bet it's the fastest of all of em, lol.

N and A contests never have rules.
EDIT: Rules about scoring.
Rules wrote:General, applicable to both A and B:
- No special per-level rules regarding scoring or non-destruction of components. The cheapest (legal, see contest rules) solution wins.

Also, 4 or 5 seconds isn't really that fast...

I was talking about how score was calculated. Thought I had seen some contest where the score was the cash plus something, I forget.

Yep. Only in C contests. "Rules regarding scoring"=how scoring is calculated.

I don't understand what you're saying. I know it's just the amount of money. It's just that usually my mind is totally blown by the fact that people get scores hundreds of dollars cheaper than mine (which is the cheapest I can envision). On this one I see exactly what solution they're talking about building.
