Nice, I had -35, but I didn't do anything with the last one (so technically, +15)

Hey RKL, what was your final score? Mine was -53.

You beat me then, i think i only got to -51

Im guessing our differences are in ticks, I think i have optimal designs (per badges) on all 3 levels...

level 1 in 4 pc brown unc boom
level 2 in 2 pc brown unc champ
level 3 in 7 pc blue champ
....and I got sweep on all 3...

I dont have the links right handy or id show ya

Here are mine:

Nook and Cranny: , -23, 166
Scattered: , -23, 290
Slot Machine: , -7, 188
Total: -53

When you have time, I'd like to see yours.

Awesome solves, Cruiser. Here's scattered with one less wheel (tweaked from yours). I'd assume the ticks could be tweaked down a bit (at 355, this one scores worse than yours):

I stand corrected on our solves... I didnt even see the 3 pc coming on level 1, nor the Wheel solve for two, I guess I was worried about ticks there and didnt consider the extra deductions that the wheel solve would bring

My solve on level 2 was a bit trick, so i stuck with it. ... i tried to get that last stick to fall for several hours and gave up.... it would have given me -54 if I could have nailed it.

I really like your slot machine solve, RKL. Clever way to pull off blue and still get the sweep with the little ramp for the dynamic

[schmittd]

i know i didnt enter the comp, but this was my solution for slot machine.
http://www.fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=11680146 it scores -4
19pc, 186 T, champ, brown, sweep, clean.
it could probably be made more efficient to make a better score, but idk. personally i loved RKL's solution

[compscure]

Those were some damn good levels and solves from the leaders. Big fan of both slot machines, RKL "blue" me out of the water on that one.

Here were my water solves. Scattered is actually worth watching

Nook and Cranny: -19, 190
Scattered: -19, 293
Slot Machine: ????, ????
Total: -38

Those first two levels were really fun. I'm sad that I didn't finish. I got caught up with work and forgot.

Thik Vic

edit - I just got through looking at the other solves and well done guys.

[Pawel.Anikiel]
