Suggestion for "C" League Type of Contest
Posted: Wed Sep 12, 2007 7:56 pmShoot the Dillo the Farthest by <insert restriction here>.
I made up a level with a measuring stick for it. The contest would be to knock down the furthest possible plate. The way I built it, the intent was for the Red Rope to be the construction limit and the brown rope to be the limit of where the dillo can start.
In my mind, these are contests that feature "place your own dillo" and "place your own anchors" as long as you obey the construction region rules, mentioned above. Of course, if you want price to be a part of it, you'd need to place the anchors as the host, or limit the number of extra anchors to, say, 10, on top of making the construction rules.
This would be an excellent template for things like "combine distance with price" or "Trebuchet: use only falling weight to impart energy to the dillo."
It's easy to score and could help with some different kinds of ideas for C levels.
I've attached the blank template, as well as my own example level for: "shoot the dillo as far as you can using a rubber bumper." According to my scoring system, my launcher earned a 34.
Comments appreciated.

Next time when I'll win C, I'll make something like this. I'm bored with all these speed contests
