A Haphazard Competition

[OfficiallyHaphazard]

I Officially Present
The Haphazard Competition

Ok.. I suck at coming up with names, but that is not the point.
If enough people are interested (reply if you are interested), tomorrow I will post 3 custom levels, and everyone who wants to play will attempt to solve each level with as few pieces as possible.
Scoring will be like golf, where the lowest score wins, and is outlined below.

Not completing a level: +100

Each rod or stick: +1
Unpowered wheels: +2
Powered wheels: +4

A green solution: -10 or 1/2 your score, whatever number is bigger
A champion solution: -5

Prizes include

* A customized Congratulations message
* Honor

I think people should PM me their machines so ideas aren't stolen, and I will present them at the end. (Sunday night?)
Anyhow, let me know below if you would be interested (Note, you must have paid the 10 bucks in order to play the custom levels).

EDIT: LEVELS ARE UP!

To start things off we have "Easy Street": http://FantasticContraption.com/?levelId=790
Next up is "No Bridge over troubled water": http://FantasticContraption.com/?levelId=796
And finally, "Top n' Bottom": http://FantasticContraption.com/?levelId=835
The deadline is 6 PM on Sunday. Please PM me all three of your links beforehand. If you tweak one of your designs, resend all 3 links again por favor.
People who have not expressed interest, feel free to still join in

(Anyhow, pascifist and weasel, I have newfound respect... making good levels is hard. I hope these are satisfactory)

[weasel]

I'll even throw in, as a prize, a SECOND customized congratulatory message from a moderator! That should sweeten the pot a bit.

[Sgt Superman]

I'll play

[OfficiallyHaphazard]

"RocketRick" is playing as well

[QB]

Sounds great! And you may as well let people continue to join after you've posted the levels. At least, I can't see any harm in it.

[OfficiallyHaphazard]

Good idea QB

[Selkie]

I'm in.

[TheBob10a]

Count me in as well.

[Speedemon]

I'm game.

[irishxpride]

what's the deadline to be completed? Sounds like fun, but I have work all day, sadly..

They pay me to design networks, not contraptions.

Unless weasel and pacifist need a network nerd?

[OfficiallyHaphazard]

Ok, the levels are up in the Original Post.
I tweaked the scoring a bit too.

Also, feel free to post your failed solutions or whatever you want here as well.

[holmstrom]

I'm in. Will PM.

[QB]

I've got the first two done, but this 3rd is a pain so far.

[OfficiallyHaphazard]

There was a small glitch in the 3rd level (sometimes it wouldn't register when two items appeared to be in the goal at the same time), but I updated it (levelId = 835). If you had a working solution for the one before it, you don't need to remake your solution

[OfficiallyHaphazard]

One last thing... could you also send me the score of each of your designs (I will verify them, but that will still save me a lot of work). Thanks

If you have a green champion solution, do you get both bonuses? and in what order would they apply?

[OfficiallyHaphazard]

Green applies first and then Champion.

just curious, which did you green champ on?
