Simplified Binary Output System

Here's a simplified binary number system. It only requires eight lasers, meaning that it can be incorporated into test chambers without sending them soaring over the item limit.

The mechanism that operates it is extremely simple. As you can see, there are four buttons. From left to right, they represent 1000 (8), 0100 (4), 0010 (2) and 0001 (1). The buttons are connected to two lasers each. One represents zero, the other one represents one. The "0" laser starts enabled, and its catcher connects to every number (represented by a flip panel) with a zero in the place value in question. The "1" laser starts disabled, and connects to every number with a one in that place value. So if the input is 1001, then only flip panel nine will activate. Flip panel one won't activate as the zero laser for the "8" place value will be deactivated. This system ensures that only the correct laser will be on at a given time.

Yes, I removed the connection lines. There are sixty eight of them. Trust me, they're useless here.
