So, one missing bidder... hopefully Mark_man will add his results here and claim a moral victory.
So, three entrants, counting myself.
But the entries are all of excellent quality, and fascinating to watch. I particularly liked dec10's rocket powered solution. I was planning something similar, using more conventional counterweight means, but it's lovely to watch.
1st, scoring 2531, was me (cough )
2nd, scoring 2464, was Arunion.
3rd, scoring 2360, was dec10.
Congratulations to all for your varied and clever solutions.
As per the "no-repeat" clause, the honour of hosting the next challenge goes to Arunion. I'm terrified by the look of 009.....
