Hey Monkey, you're in the top 3 now.

I think this line's mostly filler.

Cool, thanks!

Here's the build in progress:




First I made 35 triangles, then taped them together into 3 strips and a big and small triangle as shown in the top left. Then I taped the strips around the big triangle, as shown top right. Then I closed the strips into loops, and put the small triangle in, opposite the big one, as in the bottom left. I did that 4 more times, and taped them together into a loop, in the bottom right. All of that was interior tape, so finally I wrapped it on the outside, which truly strengthened it.

Then I continued, adding 15 more of the bottom left units.

I just moved into fourth, but I need to be in the top three to get to the next round of judging.

I was taking a bunch of pictures for the contest, and Google automatically grabbed them and turned some of them into wiggle-3D images.

I had no idea they did that. I need to file that away for future use.

Yeah, I ended up somehow enabling Google backup of images on my phone, and Google collects them and does random stuff with them.

Anyway, here's a view while I was wrapping it, once I had put all the pieces together with internal tape.

On this, and some of the wiggle-3d images, you can see thread betwen the arms. I later determined it wasn't necessary, and removed it.

Have to admit, there's some very clever and skilled people in this contest.

Talking

So guess what?

I won!

I guess all the paperwork has to be in before they announce it, but they notified me, and I've submitted my signed release form.
