Here are the results of the 150th B contest: Across.

Mark and Votart had a long battle for the medal but in the end Overlord took the :lms: with a gorgeous 872. He reinvented the launcher by using a long plate where the others used a small plate. The other significant difference is that he replaced the rope holding the weight for a metal bar. I think we'll see more of this version of the launcher...
The :dms: is for mi2 for his 906 leaving the competitions only few points behind.
On the launcher side you guys did what I expected and more. For the catcher I had something completely different in mind. I first created the launcher and catcher, realized it was too simple so I added the cloth. I didn't realize the top anchor made the catcher a lot simpeler... Added my POC to show what I had in mind as a catcher.

Thanks for playing and hope to see you in the next contest.

That is a very nice variation on the Light launcher Overlord, certainly has some power. And mi2 a great Dark solution with an inventive arrangement of the paddle. You both left me and Votart a good few dollars behind but a good competition :)
