New High Scores set in EMF Camp

My all-time high score is 12918 which would put me in at #6. Congratulations to all the players, especially JUN, PEY and MOO.

Snapper survived all this activity remarkably well. I did one small adjustment to the pinch-roller pressure to reduce slippage, but that was it. Unfortunately two of the servos in Snapper and the ghost failed so by the end of the weekend the ghost’s eyes no longer moved and Snapper only snapped on one side.

NOTE (use of AI): AI was used to write the Jupyter script to extract the high score information from the log files.
