The main improvement of this design over my previous ones, is the dual purpose of arm #1. previous versions co-opted piston arm #2 via a track to deliver the final product that didn't go on the giant wheel. This was impossible to do though without adding an extra cycle to the loop. in those designs, the giant wheel was taking directly from the glyph of animismus. I tried so many options to remove that last cycle, and sort of just stumbled into this solution. It's still one cycle shy of optimal but that's one cycle of latency, rather than throughput. It's not winning any awards, but I'm proud of it nonetheless.
