Timers Without Timers!!

Hey everyone; I was just wondering how people have incorporated release mechanisms in things like force paddles, bar pulleys etc that dont involve a timer but still allow the mechanism to start just as the dillo gets there. I'm really interested in them, and I've seen a few knocking around in previous contests; does anyone have any REALLY good ones up their sleeve?? :D

Here are a few.
Just made this level real quick.

Also my first relatively cheap solution to cascade.

Also look at ARFC_A_CI_Mario...
People had a bunch of triggers for the built in pulley using welding.

I like to avoid timers on my machines because I think they look a lot cooler with all the extra machinery you need to make to avoid then... :)

I avoid timers because:

Yeah the contraptions do look cool!!
Timers are so ugly when gigantic.
Timers only go up to 60s
If something changes, contraptions screw up cuz of the timers.

Nice. Be careful about your first trigger. The rubber falls down even if Dillo doesn't go over it. I do like that one though. :)
