Wow. That compact double-speed dozer draw is really, really amazing.
Thanks. It was the first thing I started with: I had to have a way to pull the crates at double-speed, otherwise the solution would have been very difficult. And because a row of right-to-left dozer can draw at double speed, it was "just" a matter of getting them to loop back  Here is a solution for Periodical IV ( cabobos): memagis

For Periodical IV (cabobos): gecyvag. I had the culling of the required crates done early on and just needed to get a dozer draw working that didn't take up too much space. I had experimented with this kind of draw before with two dozer streams reversing independently and rejoining with one coming up under a turn signal that the other was using, but it was just too tall. Reading the thread I knew Rene had come up with something compact, so I just stuck with it until I finally came upon the trick that allows extreme miniaturization (the stacked turn signals). Compared to Rene's hyzypos, the draws are almost exactly the same. I like the crate cull in hyzypos and memagis and the timing -- how it all just comes together at the end. I had experimented with another dozer draw, but it doesn't save any vertical space so I rejected it. Here it is: digybad

Yes it looks like the top signal is the key. Here is a progression: tybubas, but I had something even a little taller. I had first joined the two streams on top, and then fixed it with the key piece. Now I see the streams don't even need to be joined. But once I had a shortened version working, I didn't spend much time optimizing.

Sixteen: zexyses C and E were the only ones that were even remotely difficult. Pretty much everything else was copy-paste work.

Similar solution to Bucky's, only less tidy: folecun.

Other solutions have inspired me to see if Sixteen could be done using the same "pattern" for each cell. For Sixteen ( rabagot): galorin
