If you click PM under Irceus' name you can just delete the text and put your own. Also, in future, proper punctuation and spelling helps

Does the build area go into the goal area?

This is just the qualifier, it doesn't matter.

Round 1 is up!

Psst team.. Make sure you get as many points as possible.. that way the speed doesn't matter anyways :D

[Kai Laddiman]

I think I chose the wrong team to be on...

EDIT: Is it deliberate that the maximum feasibly possible score is 11? It sort of restricts decision making.

[JHawk4JHawk4]

11? max?

bah

[Kai Laddiman]

Maybe not for you elitists, but brown boom seems unbeatable on this side of the fence.

[Irceus]

The only badges I took out were hands-off, rodless, pilot, and lightning since they have no place in my Comp or my levels.

And since this is a two-scoring system (points and ticks/pieces), there is no emphasis on either. Its for you to strategically decide which one you want to focus on.

Just don't worry abouy speed, just get the best score possible.

I concur with Kai choosing the wrong team :|

A bump to alert the eight people who have not submitted a solve yet.

Eight?! That had better be the other team or the elitists are gonna be in for a bumpy ride

Not much time for FC this weekend. Submitted something. Hope I don't drag my team down too badly.

Thanks for hosting.

[Irceus]

Bah, my internets is giving me the "FC can't load trollolol" crud again.

I'm extending this by one day to let more people solve and/or tweek their designs. (and to see if FC works better tommorow.)

[0wnyouu]

bored kid lo lo lo lo, bored kid lo lo lo lo

[zhyrek]

My solve is worth 19 points

Cmon you speed demons, 11 is awful D:

[schlag]

I'm sorry zhyrek, my design only got 13 points, (green, boomerang, solve) but i went for speed to just in case(not gonna say my speed cuz its a contest) well... yeah

peace out girl scout!

[degaston]

Interesting conflict of interests here. Do you go for the best score in terms of badges to help your team avoid having anyone eliminated, or do you go for a worse score with (fewer pieces/faster solve) to avoid being the one on your team who is eliminated.

As Jhawk4Jhawk4 stated above, regardless of which team you're on, if you just go for maximum points then your team has the best chance of winning. Don't worry about piece count or speed, just get max points. But, that kind of defeats the purpose of the comp.

I think an interesting addition would be to add a lightning requirement for the speed demons and a max piece allowed requirement for the elitists. That way, the results would be based more on skill (e.g. how many points can you earn while still being faster then the lightning time or while using less then the max piece count). For example, for this level, the speed demons will win because they built green or brown solves and earned points for those badges. A green or brown contraption isn't fitting for a fewest piece solve though, so we had to use powered wheels and thus didn't earn a green or brown badge.

Just an idea.
