Counter
From The Gimkit Wiki
The counter is a very useful device, and some consider it to be the #1 device. While its intended use is to "Keep track of how many times something has been done", the counter is often used for setting numerical properties to a value without blocks. Some other notable uses are, with a combination of Triggers and counters, to perform math without using Blocks and to recreate Triggers.
