For Reverse Sorting (pubeveb): bybifan (Is this cheating? Maybe banning packers/unpackers or copiers could prevent this method.)
7 Crate Assembly Line seems to be missing something vital. Maybe a crate or 2 could be useful...
Less is More (bosixas): cirixud

Edit:
Reverse Sorting with no copiers or packers: sanedyc (Fast forwarding is recommended)

Good idea on the banning packers and upackers in reverse sorting, i didn't even think of that kind of solution at first.

Not sure how I missed the crates on 7 CAL, i'll fix it.

EDIT: 7CAL fixed - jyxahir

7CAL v2 is not possible. In order to be able to make all possible target crates you need at least one odd crate. If you get say an 8 crate you will only be able to produce 8 or 0. Adding a random crate to itself and adding 1 to that would guarantee an odd crate, but even then the puzzle is no harder than converting that value to an F and/or a 1 and reusing the same system as for v1.

I see, well I would fix it but since it would basically be the same as V1 i don't think i'll bother.

For Reverse Sorting v2 (gitabyh): nocudyg
For Less is More (bosixas): zusyfeg
For Bicycle (tyzafec): nobibiz imageI opted to ignore the gates, which obviously makes the solution much slower than optimal

For Bicycle (tyzafec): fapinez
imageOriginally I also ignored the door keys but my solution, while faster than Rene's, was a bit too hard to initialize, so I made this simpler solution instead.

New Puzzles:  Zigzag v2 - pybofih
                            Zigzag v3 - rykabyt
                            Crack the Code - byvudem - I not totally sure this one is possible, but I'm not giving up hope yet. (there may also be another level with this name, but I'm not sure.)

For Crack the Code (byvudem): macadod
It's solvable all right, but only because of what seems to be an error. The top crate isn't actually added to the result, but if it were there would be no way to know what the target value would be. If this wasn't intended you would need to somehow deliver that value, possibly by sending it through the same mechanism as the other 3 crates.
