Optimal Solutions Comp - Cruiser Wins!

[ID36]

3-level Optimal Solutions Comp!

Following on from my Optimal Solutions Comp (elimination style) back in December 2010, I present a 3-level version with the same scoring.

The Scoring

Piece count x Piece type modifier

Modifier
Powered wheel: 0.4
Unpowered wheel: 0.3
Brown rod: 0.2
Blue rod: 0.1

Ex. x2, x3 and x1 = 6 piece count x 0.7 modifier (0.4+0.2+0.1) = 4.2
If you use all 5 piece types, your modifier will total 1.0

In the event of a tie, a bonus level will be played out.

The Levels
Leap Frog: Hop, Skip and a Jump
Mountain Rescue: Stop, drop and roll? That's not right!
The Wombles: Underground, overground Wombling free!

The Submission Form
Please use the following format when submitting your designs.
design link - name - piece count x modifier = total score
ex: http://www.fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=xxxxxxxx - ID36 - 10 x 0.4 = 4

The Deadline
Please have your submissions in by July 11th @ 8:30am (PST)

As always, I wish everyone the best of luck!

Very nice, Remy. It scores 8 x 0.2 = 1.6 so yep, it scores better.

I tweaked it down to 7pc: http://www.fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=11593733 - 7 x 0.2 = 1.4

EDIT: Here's an 8pc tweak of Cruiser's Leap Frog solution: http://www.fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=11593767 - 8 x 0.2 = 1.6
