Yeah, I couldn't get it to work with only one piece of two-inch string and a metal plate either, but I'm sure it'll win if I could just make it work.

Above for below $2700?

I thought this was an interesting question - and the answer is yes!
In fact I just did it with only rubber, no elastic needed... $-1900 though ;)

Ha! it's been officially "rubberized" then :)

I'm sending in what is very likely my last submission prior to the contest ending.

It's a hum dinger!!

I'm sure my solution will be competitive, but if Bob has two different solutions in that range, I'm probably not going to win. I couldn't come up with any radically different solutions within even $50 of the one I submitted. It did take me hours to get to that one, and I didn't spend hours on any of the alternates, but none of them looked very promising either.

Good luck to everyone, can't wait to see them!

There are now 3 hours remaining until the end of the contest. If you haven't already sent in your solutions then this is your last chance!
