UNOFFICIAL CONTEST RESULTS

[antistrophy]

Mine weren't even cave drawings; lines in the sand maybe...

I was soo proud of this
Stuck

I liked my idea but never got it to work
Displacement
http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=6422447

So when are we going to see some "long ways"?
and some ipecac failures...

[GaminKWB]

I've got to say that the designs are actually quite similar, score-wise, that is.

Displacement [-10 in 184 ticks]
Stuck [-6 in 60 ticks]
Be a Champ [-4 in 216 ticks]
Gate Keeper [-16 in 97 ticks]
Canyon [+7 in 295 ticks]

FINAL SCORE: -29 with 852 ticks

More than just score-wise.
Our Gate Keepers appear to be identical. In fact, all 5 wheels are in the exact same location (at least from what you can tell by comparing them in the game)

Intrigue.
Let's take it FCML....

Why .net, it would appear you have an, ahem, muse

[perfectone4]

i knew i had no chance when i was making these, but i was floored when i saw the winning designs... another thing that surprised me was how many of these ideas that i tried basically and scrapped them as impossible, proved me wrong...

Displacement: 17
Stuck: 4
Be a Champ: 15
Gate Keeper: 15
Canyon: 29
Total: 80

[cset]

wow compscure

what are the chances of that, barring cheating...

[compscure]

It's looking good for #11.

benstaples was warning about this. Can't believe .net thought it would go unnoticed.

[UltraTRex]

my designs are awful (score wise) and I didn't spend very much time on them but meh, here they are:
Stuck
http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=6790105
Canyon

Be a Champ

Gate Keeper
http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=6412381

I didn't finish displacement

[tibushu]

Very impressive job by the winners and others. Here are my designs. Total of 0 points for the first four, but 24 points on Canyon :/

http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=6855214

http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=6855190

I've never really tried to play the game minimizing rods and not using powered wheels before, it was an interesting change - trying to come up with what is possible and tweaking it just right to work, rather than just brute-forcing into the goal.

That said, I kept thinking my designs were getting more and more brilliant as I lowered my score over the last couple weeks. Now that I've seen whats really possible I'm surprised I manage to even dress myself every morning.

they are THE SAME SAME SAME THING!
i think someone copied teh other ¬¬

[compscure]

.net's 7 point Canyon also looks very similar to Nathan Witte's.

It isn't identical, but I imagine with that level there is some leeway to move the sticks a little and still have a workable solve. Where with Gamin's, moving anything seems to render it no good.

[GaminKWB]

I just want to say right now that I was not - and am not - implying or accusing anything. I was merely commenting, and showing others.

[sean_gabriel]

It looks like I've posted the highest score one of the highest scores so far. Higher is better, right?

I think I've posted the fastest canyon, though - mine clocks in at 291 ticks, and I was able to tweak it down to 284 after I submitted. Can anyone beat that? The closest I've seen posted so far is 296.

[Sgt Superman]

I expect that krishnaa, oh woops I mean roboboys, oh sorry I mean aakay.net (well what ever you want to go by), I expect that his submision might get the banhammer thrown at it.

ive got canyon down to 286 but i guess i deleted it probably because it used powered wheels

[solzhenitsyn]

I know it doesn't compare to the winners, but I was really proud of my unpowered ropebridge on canyon:

Nice!!! Once again I'm astounded by what can be accomplished without powered wheels.

You should slide the ramp over and make it a champion

http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=6894123

[Goober Guy]

Congrats guys, your designs are nothing less than what I expected, pure unleaded awesomeness.

I thought about posting my designs, but I decided I don't want the shame of my 116 being laughed at.

I'm so mad though, my score for displacement was 47 points, and I had the same idea for the water design, but I couldn't get it to work so I abandoned it as impossible, you people have taught me why I "lose" things like this now. Congrats again.

P.S. I'm still "optimistic" If people want to see my designs let me know, I'll post in the morning (10h from now).

[compscure]

Just one more note on cheating, then I'll leave it up to the powers that be (and the players "on the bubble" that have a dog in the fight).

I just want to say right now that I was not - and am not - implying or accusing anything. I was merely commenting, and showing others.

Obviously .net cheated. The chances of exactly identical designs is zero.

But in the spirit of "showing others," I do wonder what the odds of stickywulf's entries are:

GaminKWB, your solution for Stuck and Be A Champ is exactly the same as mine.

Sticky's:
Stuck -6
Be A Champ -4

Gamin's:
http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=6604622
http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=6784383

Not pixel for pixel, though.

Also compare his gatekeeper:
http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=6811644

with the nathanwitte design listed earlier in the thread (which he abandoned when he found a rodless):
