This is the hardest I have ever worked for sugar-free gatorade, which is how i choose to interpret elemental vitae from now on.

I looked really hard for something with less arms, but its hard to make a 2 or 3 arm solution go fast enough to actually perform better, so this is what I'm submitting. The output surrounded by comments gets submitted to twice per tape loop, which eventually sort of turns it into a second glyph of disposal, which i think is quite neat.

I feel really confident in this machine, but also this is my first tournament, and after last week i'm not going to make any assumptions. but either way, i think this is a slick machine! this my third layout, and i thought the second one was unbeatable but this one is 40 cycles faster which saves 120 score! and i'm very proud of myself for looking for new solutions and for finding this one
