Without barrels: zisyhit

edit:  Looks like I came up with a less efficient version of geej66's.  Except that I just realized that mine fails 0-case.

I didn't bother with minimalism.  I had fun and dumped a whole pile of random crates, barrels and dozers down the drain.

That is the most ingenious method of solving an impossible puzzle that I have ever seen.

For Yet Another Glass Floor: xamyvam. The hardest part of this puzzle is the initialization. I just looked at Rene's solution, and the initialization sequence alone is fun to watch. One difference in the two solutions is that imageRene takes final crates from both sides of the gate, where I'm only taking them from the left.

This solution was quite difficult to finish as all of the mechanisms had to be carefully timed down to the last tick, to get all of the interlocking parts aligned properly.

Binary:vohenugimageThe only difficult parts were the timers and the crossings of various pipe and dozer paths.
