Puzzle elements

Overview

When you enter the puzzle, you find yourself in an L-shaped room. There is a swapper to the left with a driller in it, with a drillable wall immediately in front of it. There is a small room with the progress wheel in it, blocked off with a blue door. On the right, there is a hexahedron next to a blue door that is currently open. Through that door is the second room with a red receiver. That room leads to a third room via a purple barrier. There is a connector that is currently transmitting laser from a red emitter to the red receiver in the second room. There is a swapper further inside the room with a jammer in it.
