Wow, some awesome pendulums and towers.

I owe my success to Votart, whose incredible balancing acts of 208 Pyramid remain forever burned in my memory.

Rob's POC2 is exactly the sort of locking catcher I wanted to build, but couldn't. It's so darn simple..... :lol:

And, I suspect a really economical tower pendulum into purple might have snatched the win.
I'll have a go while sitting out the next challenge....... :wink: Although, it would be unlike Mark_man to miss it....

All very nice ,I never even thought that amount of balancing would be possible I was only 4 away from a draw it would be nice to see if you can get that saving or better :D

Like I said, it was Votart Silak's incredible balancing acts in 208 Pyramid that gave me the idea. :wink:
(Alex has obviously seen them too! But Andrew set that challenge, so he's got no excuse! :lol: )

No joy yet (with Mark_man's tweak). I do have a failing option for a tie at 1008. The saving is coming from the counterweight, and not the dillo tower. Might have to try a deeper rework.

But, when you realise Rob's effortless blue catcher scores 1064, it all pales into insignificance......
