this layout was one of the first i tried, and the only one i could find that made some sort of sense. the output hugging the track makes it easy to access to place waste, and this combined with putting the bonder next to the track simplifies the assembly and output. from there it was just a problem of minimizing instructions. i experimented with a 1/2p approach, but the number of conditionals combined with waste management made it impractical, so this is 1p, and it assumes all the waste is there every loop... with one exception. while building product 5, completely serendipitously, the waste procs animismus, enabling extra instructions savings. this was 180i for the longest time, then after spending 2 days staring at this, i managed to save 2 instructions. i don’t think it was worth it.
