Been so close to the end of these levels for ages,Finally solved "The Only Dalek" Ctrl+0 solved this.
A few minor adjustments speedrun and all 4 levels done.
Some great solutions to these levels and things i did not think was possible great series.

  Finally. That took a lot longer than it should have! Slightly unclear why the blue ball and green block part is there but otherwise it had me going down the wrong track for ages. Nice one.

  Wonderful challenge! :-) Henri, I do not agree with you, this level is certainly NOT a failed experiment at all! I found this extremely difficult and I'm so glad that I finally got it... I guess I do already have a glimpse of a how to for the two mods 'cause as others before I just didn't realize any purpose of the well hidden green stuff for a very long time. The two mods must be more than evil!

  great puzzle! silly me didn't see the return of the top right dalek. So i had a harder time solving. ... but then: those three daleks arent necessary.

my solution isnt a cook, i think. it's so much longer than the original and i gave the puzzle a perfect 10 for difficulty and for style too.

  Yeah, I think this level is pretty good and pretty hard (though I have not solved it yet). I think it would have been improved by just simplifying some of the useless machinery (like erasing the colored panels).. that's IMO the only way it fails.

The best levels are invitingly simple, yet deviously difficult.

Holy smokes! I can't believe we had nearly the same solution for this crazy puzzle. There are so many plausable seeming tangents, I was certain I would end up with something completely different. I know you thought it was just messy, but I thought it was pretty good - nice big interesting state space.

  Doom, you hide the purpose of the green switch so well that I end up solving it without ever realizing what the green switch actually does. Anyway, the level is still very difficult with or without the green switch...

  Cook: Did not use the green or red switch.

  I think, I'll try to make less random levels in future. I consider this level a failed experiment... :P

  I guess the word that describes this mess the best is 'confusion'. I decided to make a level with sticky dalek theme but it turned to become something completely different... I know, it might be annoying because there are so many panels and it's not perfectly obvious to see what they do. At least I tried to make it a little more clear with the colored buttons that can't be pressed (except the blue one)
