Egad!
(insert pause for realization)
And I'm back in the game!
Well, rubber bands *are* cheaper'n switches, after all. :)
My adder design doesn't *strictly* require rubber bands, but would
require that all three pistons be "reset" at the end of a cycle. My
switch count is 4+4+5. I cannot *BELIEVE* how convoluted the mess is
that shows how these switches are connected though. It took me an insane
amount of time just to figure out how to draw it all so that the
switches would be balanced (nearly as possible) across all the pistons
and still do it in the smallest number of switches I could.
