Hi! Fun puzzle, cool tournament! Thanks a lot for running this!

Instruction min is lower than area min, which is kind of surprising to me.
Fixed some inefficiency at the stabilized outputs, with some awkward pivots to get things aligned with the output on time. Pretty sure this can go even lower, but I doubt by much.

25 instructions is four three instruction arms for doing most of the moving. two fours and a five for output manipulation.

Arm 7 would love to be a tri-arm and save an instruction or two, but it would grab the input.
