Well done mikee7, I'm looking forward to another contest from you.

Has anyone else used the jackhammer the way I did with two sets of multiple plates next to each other, I discovered this by experimenting, the power it produces is mind blowing :shock: . The tweaking is very fine though, there seems to be only a small area of adjustment with the single plate in the middle, move it's node slightly off position and the hammer wont do anything.

What happened to Jhep's dark solution at 6.58 :?:

That is a new looking jackhammer. Interesting design.

Also, those are some massive Pulley systems! Nice job everyone! :D

Nice to have a look at your entry as it was the only other dark one. Interesting method for firing the jackhammer, it was the problem with the Dillo stuck in the corner which lead me to experiment. I got some ideas from Overlord's 1205 solution for B131 his variation of the jackhammer has some plates out of line and blows without being hit.

I know :oops: the catcher was a mess but it worked, I just kept putting rubber in until it stopped a very fast Dillo. Finding the new jackhammer was a complete accident maybe it should have a new name, any suggestions, I am sure AR has more hidden secrets yet to come.
