RazielAnarki, interesting with phil. stone. Having tried a lot to get better than 49 cycles (and not yet succeeded) I actually never considered connecting the corners first. This is an interesting new approach...

I'm working on optimizing it; there is one wait cycle that I have to do to prevent a collision (the short central arms wait for the large spawners to take one atom to the binder). I'm thinking of a solution but can't figure it out, let me know if you can optimize this design.

Catpaw: I like the change. I had initially considered doing some form of twirl like that, but hadn't thought it through enough to figure out that enough twirls would correct it. Nice addition, thanks. In the alteration though you lost the important ending with the symbols lining up with the outlines. I put it back in this latest version.

11: Black Powder - I revisited this formula because I wanted to design a "Merry-go-round" style machine just to see if I could do it. I came up with two variations that are almost the same with an important change to better convey the spinning visual. Below is version 1.0 and 2.0 of my creation.
