Welcome to B League contest #119, Chute II.

This is a variation on a contest I posted a few weeks ago.
I originally overlooked blocking off the top and made it too easy, so no one ended up going through the chute like I intended.
Chute II is what I wanted that contest to be.
It should be fairly easy to solve, hopefully not too easy, but there are many opportunities to tweak a good score.

No special rules. Posting of scores is allowed.
Contest ends Jan. 23, 16:00 GMT or later, until I recieve 3 entries.

Enjoy

I think the level is not easy at all, and also, once you manage to get a solution to a level like this you probably won't have any chance to tweak it...

Sorry this my opinion, but it could be useful to discuss about it..

Ok, I got a very nice score...
But I had to use some mechanical tools that I don't love so much..

Maybe I have been a little too hard on this level..

So... how nice is very nice?

Hope i'm not too far behind with 1100+L

Thanks for the input, Cresta.
I wanted to make sure I didn't post a B League that was too easy like I've done in the past.
Since we have a week I figured that's plenty of time to tweak.

I suggest you to tweak, tweak and... what else..? ...oh, tweak!

tweaked a little, 1180+L.

1200+ L

Tweaked some more, 1220+L

Consider that I have already sent my solution.. 1250+

i'll just pretend i didn't read that and continue with 1230+L

Are you using a pulley?

A pulley is with a wheel on top right? Didn't think that would be a competitive option.
I'm using two balances? with contraweights.

1251+L

1260+ L
