Armadillo Run forum

Hi all and sorry for the delay.

Rob was in with an early start with an undisclosed score swiftly followed by a new member, sendai45 and Overlord. Votart Silak then put in a huge raise with the light score, he also put in the first Dark bid and immediately raised it $60.

Votart took the lead early on but then Overlord edged in front. Meanwhile mi2 put in an unbeatable 1818 which takes the Light award.

The Dark award goes to Votart Silak with an impressive 1854

Thank you to all who took part.

uhh again a win with 50+$ to second place, thats unexpected . you guys build some cool triggers . mark asked not to raise the scores that early so i dont push the score anymore. maybe some of you had also some 1800+ scores

That is a hellish launcher, I MUST know how to make them. *goes to study it*

And my catcher is cheaper.

Too bad I can't play in these days (university exams).......
Anyway, how is it possible to get all that power from your launcher mi2?? It seems unreal! I'm not talking about the configuration (just one swinging plate and not two), but the falling bar! It's just one!!
Ps: It seems that kind of method is getting fashionable in the last solutions....

mi2, dich das Genie!

hehe make me laugh to see you guys are confused . to be honestest i have no clue why this is working.first i used 2 metal bars but then i recognized it also works with one .

i think its the combination of two "forces" first the lifting force from the welding and then the second more powerful rotation from that metal plate . good feeling showing you some new tricks

This kind of launcher could actually replace pulleys and tensioned rubbers.

Awesome launcher
Now to see if I can use that thing in the next contest

Ooooh. Nice solutions! I didn't know it was allowed to leave the level boundaries in a light solution. Good to know.

It is fine to go outside the boundaries as long as the Dillo doesn't go through any material in the process, like the cloth on the end of a thrower, then it is classed as Dark. In a Dark solution anything goes
