I tried the first few towers.
And here are the results of the Güterslarian jury:

Zitat:

a) Your Choice
The very first tower I built after getting the emulator to work. So much time had passed, I had forgotten even the 17 items limit, finding myself short in the end. I should probably have switched off the cameras for this one, especially for the „lower level“ solution.

Ah, well, considering it was your first try after all the time......

No, actually it's more interesting than one would say at first sight.

Zitat:

b) Doghouses
I don’t know, I just like to build little houses where things come out. Getting the timing right in this one may need a few tries. Apart from that, there’s only a heap of red herring-klondikes.

Now this one's really nice!! I was quite stunned when I ran into some trouble first.

Zitat:

c) Rube Goldberg for Simpletons
Another thing I love - chain reactions. This tower was designed mostly for the fun of watching the machine in motion once you set it going. I included a small trap as an afterthought.

Beautiful chain reaction indeed. But where is that trap?

Zitat:

d) Equilibrium
A classical one level tower with a small puzzle. Simple and, I hope, elegant

Your hope is justified!

Zitat:

e) The Fence
If you know about it, you’ll spot it quick enough, and then it’s exceedingly simpel.

Damn! I was sure the range couldn't be THAT short!!

Zitat:

f) Crossfire
One of those classical Grabber-Freezer scenarios. Coordinating both spiders can become tricky near the end.

I HATE THIS TOWER!!! I'm frustrated, and I need to play something completely different now...
