Yup, simple it is. My first solution took me 3 minutes. :)

Now, I hope I can find a clever, cheap way to win! :wink:

Epic fail :wink: , ASAM or dark solution will win? (not from me, I finished with light one and dark isn't very familiar for me in v2)

I tried bottom and dark a bit, it's a pain in the a*s for me, on this level due to design. :oops:

I haven't gone much further from my first effort. Just refinement of the idea.

1759+ :lol: and that's my limit.....

PS happy to finish early too.

1760 :lms: With rubber, better isn't possible imho. I'll try bottom once more, if i'll have time.

exactly the same for me only I cannot get the 20 working only 22 .I will put one more hour in trying to get the 20 working .bottom way I can get it to the bottom for less than 30 but trying to get it up for cheap is problomatic

Well, it isn't pretty, but I managed a new solution.

Analysing what everyone's said here so far, I think the absolute limit for the top solution is:
Rubber launcher for $200
Deflector for $20 or $22
portal catcher for $20 (or maybe $18).

I did manage to get a portal catcher working for $18, but used a $22 deflector, so I was also stuck at $1760.
Theoretically, the limit for a rubber solution would thus be $1762.

But it won't help you now.... :twisted:

I went under, and while my first effort was just 1764, I have now boosted the result to 1790+. :D
Light solution, of course, since I'm so bad at dark.
