Whee, so the contest is over!
First I got some solutions that used one or more rubbers to lift the plate. Then came the first lever solutions and in the end most players were going towards a clever lever solution. People also seemed to like the free timers and utilized them... for no reason
Rob came first with his lever solution, then came markmadras, Votart and mi2. However what mi2 sent me along with the lever solution was a mind-blowing solution.
So in the end,
first place and the light medal goes to..
mi2 with the amazing solution and a result of $4414
second place goes to Votart with a the best lever solution of $4405, in which he used the timers to push the dillo to the end.
third place goes to Rob, who has the cheapest and most effective lever of them all, which costs $25. with that launcher tweaked, it could've scored higher.
I also suspect that mi2's 4414 can be tweaked up a bit with another launcher (though it seems that the solution needs something connected to the top left corridor anchor, so maybe that IS the max. Amazing solution, whatnot.
I'd like to thank straubitude, markmadras, mi2, Votart Silak and Rob for participating in the contest. Good job guys and congratulations to the winner!
Looking forward to the next A contest!
