I've been a bit busy lately due to touring some colleges, but today I finished bootstrapping the slow salvo elbow and target blocks, as well as writing and using a script to condense the slow salvo recipes from singlechannel90 to singlechannel62 with some tips from Goldtiger997.

Here's the script I ...

I know this is my 3rd consecutive post, but here's my current setup that i think makes the most sense for the fanout mechanism to build the track. There's 3 different synchronized sets of gliders from each side + one more to create the elbow block totaling 8 gliders from each side.

Next up is ...

Is this adjustable fanout mechanism known? It seems more efficient than known adjust fanout mechanisms (2 adjustable output gliders for 2 MWSS and 1 LWSS vs 1 adjustable output glider for 2 LWSS and 1 MWSS)

I used a python script to filter through the slsparse data to find elbow recipes which work with this offset:

glider = g.parse("3o$o$bo!")
block = g.parse("2o$2o!")
