You discovered: MODULAR SYNCHRONIZATION!
You aligned repeating cycles by matching the remainder left when the gateway tick was split into each robot's cycle.
A robot pulsing every 5 ticks returns to the same phase at ticks 5, 10, 15, and 20. So tick 17 sits at phase 2 because 17 leaves remainder 2 after groups of 5. This cyclic reasoning is called modular arithmetic. It keeps clocks, music loops, rotating machines, and secure digital systems in sync.
Next quest: another advanced thinking adventure awaits.
