Why are you interested in joining this server?:
I used to play minecraft often, and started a project building a 'redstone university' on a large public server. I wanted to build something that would teach people how to make anything and everything with redstone, and show off some fun example circuits.
Unfortunately that server fell apart, and I haven't done much with minecraft for several months. Looking to get back into it, and your server looks like it might be a good place for my project.
Past Redstone Experience:
I'm pretty good with redstone, and have a real-life background in electrical engineering. I've enjoyed making all sorts of things with redstone, including LED display counters and programmable combination locks. I also enjoy making 'music boxes', my favorite one of which plays a lovely version of pachelbel's canon in D.
I find that you can do most anything with simple logic gates, a few pulse generators, and maybe a redstone toggle. If this doesn't do it, the minecraftwiki has a great article describing more specialized circuits.
I like to color-code my circuits with wool, and find it is important to know three or four different ways to make the same logic gate in order to make efficient, compact creations.
Anything else you'd like to mention? (Optional):
Unfortunately I don't have many screenshots of my work. This one image is from a test world I used to try out different ways of making combination locks and attaching secure piston doors.
