I wanted to create a system that would allow labs to summon the exact ammount of the exact kind of research packets they need, so that the packets don't clog up the belts and are neatly stored in one place. It turned out so great I wanted to share it here

Pros:
1. Easily extendable

(But for very long setups you might want to upgrade your transportation belts)
2. Quite Compact
3. Fully self-feeding
4. Only takes what it needs
5. Keeps all packets in one place
6. Looks cool

Cons:
1. Can't make coffee
2. Needs a kickstart

How to:
Use this blueprint:

WARNING: any mistake when following the blueprint may cause the setup to fail as circuit settings won't be copied.

Once you're done put all your packets in the leftmost chest. Now you just have to give it a kickstart. To do so take 3 of each kind of packet and put them in the rightmost chest(2 will quickly be taken away by the inserter so that one should remain). Now you're ready to go. Start a research project and watch as the system slowly sends out packets one by one to each of the laboratories. It may take a minute before the system catches up with all the demand, as it can only send one of each kind of packet at a time.

Use this to extend the setup:


When extending join the corresponding electricity poles with red cable and the transportation belts with green cable.
