i love optimizing my solutions. i have to force myself to move on and come back later. here's my progression on the first non-tutorial level: naive first try:  then i realized, you can pick up and place faster with two arms on the mercury. also cricically the arm that puts it in the sink is not the same arm that kicks off the cycle at the source:  then i realized, you can save instructions by not resetting at the end of a cycle. namely the 6 arm rotator can drop the gold then pick up the next gold without having to rotate shaving a cycle. Likewise, if the mercury arm going last is not the one going first, it can pipeline and reset while the other is moving. so i got it down to this:  after removing some cruft and compacting:  i don't think you can get much faster than that. then i tried to make something as cheap as possible and it ended up being super compact too:

yeah you're right i couldn't figure out how to avoid the collision but of course you put the lead on the outside. nice.

also don't go on reddit or you'll just spoil the optimal solution which takes a lot out of it.

pipelining is the key to low cycle counts. make sure the first thing to go ends before the last thing to do something. for the source that you will need the highest count of, make sure you are picking something up from it on every odd cycle.

haha don't feel bad man that was the final result of an iterative process. try to do it again starting with two arms on the light blue since you need twice as many of them, then fit in the teal one where it will link and finally an output arm. i guarantee you'll at least in the ballpark.
