It's been a rainy season for all of us, but that didn't affect the AR players who participated in this though contest
So, the light winner - the master of swings -
V4nKw15h, $8902
Cresta came really close with just a $20 shortage behind the winner. In 2 minutes I tweaked his solution to $8912, which is the highest scoring light in the contest. Sadly he didn't reach V4nKw15h with his massive thrower, that solution had such a great potential.
Now to the dark side - at first I though Votart Silak would be the dark winner with his "Canopy" (interesting to watch from the armadillo cam), then mi2 surprised me with a superfast dark solution which guided the dillo to the portal before the rain. But that's not all!
Cresta, $9126
You ought to check out Cresta's dark launcher. That's nothing I've ever seen before! Truly a man for all seasons!
It seems like Armadillo Run forum only permits attachments of no more than 256KB in size (the results file is 257KB), so I'll host it: http://84.38.142.48/Rain.zip
