Well if you think the light is yours then I should take another look at it because I know you love boing/bounce/flip as much as me.
I have a nice clean solution but I believe it can be done cheaper. Exactly how it can be done cheaper I don't know yet but I have ideas.

Problem is, I had plenty of time yesterday to fool around with it, but I'm back at work now and I have a mountain of work to do. So we will have to see if I find some time.

Maybe we have the same dark! :D

I also have a clean light solution, and I know how much you like swing and flip! But no bounce for me this time...
I can't wait to see yours!

....We are far from our real scores I suppose :wink:

At the moment I'm not really confident at all with my light solution. I'm sure there is a way to flick it much better but I wasn't able to find it yesterday.

As for the Dark, I'm not 100% sure I've maxed that either. There is a catcher that is $4 cheaper than the solution I submitted, but it's theoretical and one of those that takes a big heap of luck for everything to bounce and bend just right. I tried for 45 mins and didn't really get close enough. I decided not to continue trying.

It's the light solution that is bugging me. My solution is clean but I have one contraption too many as far as I'm concerned. My hunch is that it's possible to do the whole thing as much as $50 cheaper.I hope I have time to find it, because I want to put up a challenge.

In this case I'll wait for you to put up the real challenge!
I can tell you that I used a catcher I've seen somewhere else but I've never managed to use.. I believe this time it's the cheapest.. It is also very easy to tweak, so probably we are talking about two different kind of structure..

Okay, I should have been working but I just couldn't resist. I have taken $14 off my previously submitted solution. But it's Cresta, and that usually means that only the best possible or super close to it has a chance, and I still feel like I can get a better flick, somehow.

So

2765+ :lms:
2864+ :dms:

I'm raising myself here. Your turn Cresta.

Yikes at 4800+

I just made it to 4798 with the craziest catcher. I've never seen it before so I thought I might be good with it. But obviously I'm losing points getting it there which I did suspect all along.

As for the dark 4870+ (and if I can get my new catcher to work dark, which I doubt, be afraid)

Edit: Be Afraid. I'm almost certain I have max Dark. I'm not even scared of ioncorpse on this one :)

(No improvement to the light though. I can tweak my 4798 to 4802, for sure, with some time but little point if you have more than that already. I can also see a possible 4810 with even more time. Again, I'm loathed to spend what little time I have tweaking either of them if you have better. Please let me know if I'm wasting my time on them because I have a hunch I'm still $30 off max)

Wow... You are 100% sure?
How much is your catcher?

Edit: Now I am also 100% sure to have the max dark! :D

This is very strange for me on the light scores. I am usually fairly good at making swings and I've tried everything I can dream up without getting close to what I really need.

I guess, I'm blinkered. You know what it's like when you try a few techniques and then every idea is a variation on those techniques, instead of coming up with something new.

I need to think out of the box to get close to that type of light score. I bet the route I'm taking is all wrong and I need to stop thinking that way. Running out of time though.

Dark was more fun for me on this one and inventing the catcher. I bet we have the same score Cresta.
