Welcome to the 341st AR2 A contest: 003_Cascade
This is a repeat of the third AR2 A league challenge, but please do not examine and/or copy any solutions from the original challenge. Because, where's the challenge in that?
Besides, Version 2.1.3 presently in use, means the same solution is not guaranteed to work.
In the first two challenges to date, we have seen one that failed completely, and the second beaten by a better solution this time around. In other words, copying the original solution is 0/2 wins in these challenge repeats.
Cascade looks like another fairly straightforward challenge. The AR2 A league (back then) looks like it was intended to be a totally "non-dark" game. As such, even overlapping end nodes of parts was enough to be called "dark", and the contest rules talked about a special award for a "light" solution. For example, the use of "jackhammers" to break any pre-built components (to release the one stuck dillo in this challenge, for example) was prohibited, but I think it meant only the "initial interference" builds, and does not include the "falling under gravity piledriver" version. I guess that over time, the impracticality of policing that dark/light rule resulted in it being abandoned.
This time around, anything goes, and the winner will be the most economical solution, like always. Beware the price changes.
Oh, and gravity has been increased to 102%
That's because Ioncorpse always wanted "G" in high school physics to be 10.0, and not the 9.8m/s2 we always had to use for calculations. Fortunately AR2 gave him the power to make the Dillo universe as he wanted it to be....
AR2 Version 2.1.3 Beta is used, make sure you use the correct version.
