Tried something different, but didn't work... :bah:



There's still room for improvement though.


So I went back to the previous design...



...And beat Darkel by 3 bucks.

Well it's not really mine - I had a variation, but was struggling to get it below 167K, until I saw that you could get rid of 2 more cross members - since someone else had done just that
