@rafael - sure, why not. use my template if you like - you can it do it your own way if you want but this is basically how I ran the last contest. (below)

does anyone see a reason to vote? If anyone says "we should vote!" before 1/1/11 (

) we will, Otherwise Raf can get it started on Jan 1 or later.

As sick as I am of mazes, I guess that idea will do

Propel contest. Been working on it all last month.

Loving the least lines idea. Reminds me of Fantastic Contraption.

Another idea I had was using beta 3 and only using deceleration (slow-down) lines to make a track.

can we try a contest, maybe not this month, but next month, where someone makes a track with... 100 blue/red lines and 500 green lines and it goes on for a specific amount of time?

Hey rafael, go ahead and start the contest! I can probably run it for you if you want, but feel free to go right ahead. I'd need the .sol anyway lol
