I like the general idea of being able to check states and reset groups of triggers. The timed functions would be spectacular.

I wonder if this would be better constructed as a 3x3 or 5x5 room with a limited number of these logic links available. It reigns in the wholesale freedom substantially... but also makes it far easier to pickup and learn.

Myself I think we would do wonders with the "float switches" and "heat sensors" someone mentioned above.

What we need is for channels to flood into diagonally adjacent tiles too, and for a channel to only fill if 1 or 2 of the channels next to it are full (not 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8)

Maybe a new type of channel with these characteristics?

Do you think antiflood will act as an electron tail?
