Contest! This contest will be a redstone contraption building contest! But this one will be different because it will be over a Rupe Goldberg machine! Don't know what that is? It is basically a bunch of reactions causing other reaction!

Objective: Make a machine that opens a door, as complicated as possible! Using a series of pistons to push item drops around, into pressure plates, triggering other pistons, dispensers, etc. you may also use moving blocks to trigger reactions.

The more reactions you have in your machine, the higher your score will be!

And the prize? 1 month of free donor status! (free for the winner ;))

So building will start today, and end December 20th. Please register using this template

Please build it in creative mode. (creative.kreatious.net)

Cords to your machine:

Ok. Mine is now ready for propper viewing.
I realise yesterday's demonstration was less than fantastic :p

Before starting, please note, a boat must be loaded at 2954, 37, -2716
There must also be sand loaded into 2957, y, -2707

Timezone: GMT (UK)

Start button:
x: 27947
y: 70
z: -2682

Cart flies off. Down the shoot. Activates the piston pushing the loaded boat out and into the water ladder/
The cart is recycled and will return to the start.
The boat rises up the water ladder and smashes into the pressure plates above, activating them, which releases the second mine cart to activate the pistons that will push the sand out onto a pressure plate, shooting the final signal off which opens the door.

Tell me what you think :)

Edit: Currently hoping to win by deafault :p

Hopefully you can get back on bossman! You've missed a lot... We built an entire new spawn, circular, with like a 150 block diameter lol. And 4 2500 block long tunnels, 8x7 lol.
