Hi all! Congratulations to everyone who competed!
In 5th place: Rob with 2631
In 4th place: decsystem10 with 2649 , with a solution sort of similar to the winning solution
In 3rd place: Votart with 2785 , making good use of mi2 launchers
In 2nd place: Markmadras with 2798 , coming ahead of Votart right at the end
...And out of nowhere: this competition's winner: Njaa with a whopping 2814
His solution may not be the most interesting watch (it runs 835.21 seconds), but it's definitely the cheapest.
I've also included my not-so-great POC in the results.
