More Advanced Logic (Hard)

Loved this puzzle! I think I was able to come up with a really well-rounded solution that's small, simple and fast for its size.

My Solution:

strange, I don't get it downloaded onto my computer

Got 15 footprint, which is the theorical minimum. Only took like three iterations of the same idea ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm almost certain this is the fastest solution possible. The interval between outputs is 12 cycles, which is limited by how fast you can use the stamper. The output block is moved as quickly as possible into position over the stamper, stamped 4 times, then directly moved next to the output by welding to a Giant Rotating Arm and then rotating the block to the next position to take only 1 cycle per movement.

127 cycles (infinite solution)

I think I'm done for a while. I'm not sure if you can get 129 cycles and I think 128 is the fastest you could get if you had lots more space. This is 132 /363/317

I'm getting around to doing some of the classic user generated puzzles. This is my best effort for speed before i saw some other designs and realized that you can just rotate directly over the hole.

@Hypnotic: I guess you can rotate faster, the 60 cycles should be 2 cycles per rotation. You lose one cycle for moving rotator in and one for moving it out. If the rotator will be lifted up and down instead, then it can move down with the holder saving one cycle per rotation. I guess that the other cycle can be optimised only by paralelism - while one holder moves in, the other moves out of the stamping machine, utilizing it for full theoretical speed (one cycle in/out, one down, one up, that gives theoretical minimum of 120 cycles).

This puzzle was so amazingly satisfying to solve.

I can;t believe I actually solved this one, took me long enough tho. 5 stars definitely
