Hello
Does a redstone expert could explain the behaviour showed in the video?
Basically, it is a redstone system to eject items using droppers and it works as expected, but, when I mirrored the design, it was not longer working as expected and I can't understand why?
I don't know why it would happen on one side and not the other but I've figured out what causes the problem.
The redstone is blinking too fast and the torches burn out.
So you need to either slow down the redstone or find a way to power the droppers without the torches.
Perhaps connect the comparator to a repeater timer.
Or use repeaters to power the droppers.

From the Wiki:
"A redstone torch experiences "burn-out" when it is forced to change state (by powering and de-powering the block it is attached to) more than eight times in 60 game ticks (three seconds, barring lag). After burning out, a redstone torch produces a "smoke" particle and a hiss similar to an extinguished fire, deactivates, and then ignores attempts to change its state until the number of state changes in the last 60 game ticks drops to fewer than eight—after that it re-activates when it receives a block update (an adjacent block changing its state) or a redstone update that would not normally deactivate the redstone torch. There is no limit on how often a single redstone torch can burn out."
If you look at the redstone torches you should see that the one connected to the non functioning dropper has stopped blinking. If you can see the torches while filling the droppers you should see it blink once, make a hissing sound and stop.

Just testing.
