Bucky's Sorting Service:getofyn.  This service is still in beta, so I'm not charging you for it yet.

For Bucky's Sorting Service (getofyn): fatibob
Interesting idea for a puzzle.

Edit:
About 1000 ticks faster solution: fagytuv

You can actually sneak one of the crates past the final check. Adding a pipe to the left of the gate solves this problem.

Fun puzzle.
In thought of the environment, I kept the number of destroyed barrels to a minimum 

EDIT: Werbad's (second) solution is quite a bit faster than mine... and he noticed that the value of the first crate does not matter

[Werbad]

With the current setup it is possible to solve the puzzle using only 16 checks. I'm having some problems setting it up though...

Edit:
For Bucky's Sorting Service (getofyn): dysyguc
It's slower than my earlier solution but I only use the sorter 16 times.
This is actually an extension of my earlier discovery. You can always sneak past a crate that is not bigger than the current crate under the gate, so as long as you always pick the highest value crate you can insert any other crate directly before it.

And I just realized that the minimum should be 12 checks...

Edit2:
13 Checks: dogebaf
The last check isn't really a check since it always have the same result, but I was too lazy to redesign the machine, so I took the easy route and added a 0 barrel at the end of the input.

Just figured out a sorting method that only requires 20 checks without cheating... Good to know if you have to 'pay' for the checks in a later version...

Don't get too excited; It's just a fixed version of getofyn.

Its based on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odd-even_sort

New puzzle.  Medium difficulty.  No clue what to name it.

dibirob

[immibis]

Solved: ludabip

[Werbad]

Same basic idea as immibis komigyk

Minimalist Solution: xylyzyp

[Twee]

I was wracking my brain trying to figure out how to solve dibirob non-probabilisticly, and broke down and looked at Werbad's solution. I really wish I hadn't, as anything I come up with now would be pretty deriviative..probably.
Anyway, here's a solution to "Bucky's Vending Machine v2" (ruzihed): nifavom
I made it while suffering some insomnia, so I have a feeling that I may have over-complicated the problem. I'm pretty proud of the selective dozer-trap on the lower-right though.

[immibis]

For Black Box (ryvokir): koguret
For Time-Divison Multiplexing: sydorif
For Barrel Sweeping Task v0: hezavot
For Big Mess v0 (xohydum): lugalif

[Twee]

for "deadly tower"(zynemev): cucehip

Edit: I ran the solution one more time after posting, and it failed. Here's a slower and more accurate version.
