Thanks for the help! Here's the upload: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B31-hBFxjjKVM0R2SUU4TjdMWmc&authuser=0 Also, sorry about the image upload service I used if it gives you troubles, first time I've used it. Normally I use imgur, but it wasn't working for me today.

When I saw this on Facebook, I immediately felt I had to contribute. In fact, I joined this forum just so I could post this creation. The 10 by 10 Multiplication Table http://postimg.org/image/vzqi1rqjd/ Here's how it works: (with mechanical details in parentheses) Step 1: press "T" to separate the "deciding row" from the columns. (The first part of this machine needs to be disconnected from the rest. This allows the user to first enter one number, then the other.) Step 2: press the number key for the smaller number you wish to multiply. Don't worry if you want to square a number, just enter it in. (this breaks off the part of the row you want to multiply. In other words, it decides how many columns are going to be counted. The reason this number needs to be the smaller one should be evident soon.) Step 3: press "R" to launch the rows back at the columns and dock with them. (obviously the most questionable part of the operation, using separatrons to bring the deciding row. With all the effort I've made it so that at least one port always connects, and around 80% of the time all the ports dock. The more columns you decided to use, the more likely one won't connect, causing a column to fail.) Step 4: press "G" to separate the columns from each other. (they needed to be together in the first because of construction, so now you need to separate them to stop the light command from flowing to what should be dead rows. Step 5: press the larger number you want to multiply. (cutting the columns to the desired length, finalizing the answer.) Step 6: Turn on the lights and count them to get your answer. (By this time only the lights of the columns to the desired length should get the command to turn on. meaning the lights will show the answer.) An image of the machine calculating 4X8: http://postimg.org/image/cglwserrt/ I'll be the first to admit this design is a rushed attempt and has some problems. more precision is needed to hit the docking ports 100% of the time, and until then 10X10 only has a 50/50 chance of working. It would also be more user friendly to have the "T," "R," and "G" commands all be stages rather than action groups, but I didn't feel like going on a wild goose chase for the right pylons and decouplers for the right stages. It also is a one time use calculator. I have thought about using docking ports instead of decouplers to make it reusable, but as of yet I'm not sure how that might work. I also wish I could use some other mechanic than light counting to display the answer, but I can't fathom a way to change this into binary, let alone base 10. It's also far to large and lag inducing, so efficiency is not its forte. Edit: sorry, realized that the input is too complicated and not of the required format. I should really learn to stop skimming. I don't need to be on the leaderboard, especially considering the occasional failure of the machine. I just wanted to get the idea out there. you might have noticed the solar panels I made before I realized pylons produced electricity. Someday I'll get around to removing it. Lastly, I haven't yet figured out how to upload spacecraft, but if people are interested I'd be willing to figure it out and upload it.
