Scientist's split-arrows !
Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- I need your help, young scientist ! The evil Dr. MadaTheMadLad has split all the arrows I was studying ! Can you make the right connections and help me sort it out ?
- Split arrows : Every arrow passes through a teleported (dotted cages). The digits on an arrow sum to the number in the circle. Digits CAN repeat on the arrow. Arrows' properties : 3 arrows have only 1 unique digits (E.g. 444) Teleporters : Digits on one side of a teleporter must match the digit on the other side (E.g. If an arrow enters a teleporter with the digit 5, it must exit another teleporter also with a 5). Every arrow must go through a teleporter and both sides of a teleporter are part of the arrow. Note that the teleporter in the middle box is used by 2 different arrows. Thermometer : There is an built-in thermometer inside the machine. Digits strictly increase along a thermometer. White Kropki dots : White dots indicate consecutive digits. Not all white dots are given. Put on your lab coat and good luck !

This was great fun! Teleporting arrows are such a creative idea.
I was able to follow the rules, but I have a couple suggestions that may help clarify them.
1. State that the digits on each side of the teleporter count separately towards the arrow's total.
(Since it's the same digit on both sides, I thought at first it might only count once.)
2. Arrow's properties: This part is confusing and can be much simpler. All that's needed is this: "I remember that 3 of the arrows have only 1 unique digit (e.g. 444)."
(The rules about 2 arrows / 1 arrow / one additional arrow don't add anything that is needed to solve the puzzle.)

Thanks a lot, I've changed it
