O yeah, today's the 3rd of december! I thought it was tomorrow!
I've been tweakin a bit during a 2 hour lasting train trip just now, actually bringing my score to 9730 (attached)
The real turning point came when I stabilized the rockets with the metal, that made it so much more controllable! I've had near-successes with rockets connected by the back, a near success with a rocket connected from its nose (!) but it all just wouldn't quite go right, and the tweaking was horrifying! Take for example the temporary save I have attached too. Try
anything at all to get it that little bit higher, and it stops working.
About the bluffing, I carefully crafted my messages to imply that I was bluffing. Compare my first versions to the edited ones:

I now posses a solution which TOTALLY blows away all of the other scores shown in this thread!

And the scores are too high...

Thank you.
I guess it worked!
About the dark, the most right metal beam of my pulley has compression (green) when the metal plate isn't yet destroyed. I don't know why, I didn't design it to do that... Is that using force? I don't understand why it would be compressed... I'm not knowingly exploiting anything..
I love the alternate solutions which take the 'normal path', and especially the rock and roller coaster is rock and rolling over the floor laughing!
