Now I wonder if they just started that device from a "completed" puzzle to mix it up and then just ran the pattern backwards?  :D

Don't think so, it should be plausible that a computer can "scan" for the fields and just calculate the quickest path to success, and then execute? My dad wrote a similar program for a game called pentomino to calculate solutions based on any starting formation and size of the puzzle. A matter of milliseconds.

It was just an amusing thought.  :)
