Sorry for the delay - got distracted and forgot the time.
Well, a subdued entry list did not detract from the excellent quality of entries. Some extreme competition between Rob and Mark_man saw a close finish.
The winner, with 1726, is Mark_man. Congratulations.
He spotted the price gap between plates and bars, and built a superb bar sled, along with some extraordinary gymnastics to get the dillo into a basket.
Second, with 1704, is Rob.
He managed to build an effective "Indian rope trick", and got clever with catcher economy, to chase the best score.
Third, with 1536, is Tim (Andrew).
This was the only entrant to go the "right" way. It's an impressively fast swing, too.
Thanks for competing.
