Time's up! Sorry for the lateness of getting this posted. Thanks to everyone who submitted.
In seventh place: Overlord with $3726. Sent in as a quick birthday solution, this is rather interesting to watch. Oh, and happy belated birthday.
In sixth place: mx781 with $3772. He used a rocket to pull the .
In fifth place: numskull with $3784. He used a bar pulley to pull the out of the cage and over the tower.
In fourth place: markmadras with $3830. You had a good concept going, but your thrower was just a little bulkier than it needed to be.
In third place: the new guy: DaveLloyd180 with $3837. Great job! With a simple change to the end, though, you could have come out with $3864. Still, great beginning!
In second place: Rob with $3894 with a rather dark-looking solution.
And in first place by just $4: Votart Silak with $3898 remaining! I love how he used the falling tower to catapult the forward.
Congrats Votart!
I hope you all enjoyed it. Here's the solutions.
