Why are you interested in joining this server?:
I love redstone, creating contraptions, or just trying something new. I wanted to be able to go somewhere and share my creations, as well as observe other people's stuff they have done. Being able to show and see is what would make it more fun for me (sorry for the rhyme); rather than, say, making a calculator in single player, I could do it on a community.
Current Redstone knowledge:
I don't really have experience with logic, computers, etc. I usually experiment with logic and binary. I am good at understanding and using binary, but don't know exactly how to make RAM or ALUs. I usually make contraptions and redstone versions of real life models; for example, I made a vending machine like one in real life. Put in a gold ingot, a trapdoor-and-piston dispenser lifts, and an item falls. The dispensers closes and resets automatically.
Past Redstone Experience:
Even though I don't have much experience with logic and the like, I am still a great redstoner. I have built a sink using an OR and NOT gate, built a binary decoder from 4 bits (8 ,4 ,2 ,1), and built a real life model vending machine using NOT gates, clock pulsers, and trapdoors. If there is no product to dispense, a light turns on, and a sign next to it indicates "out of order." I also built a 7 segment display calculator, full adders, full auto piston train that turns, GPU, and 4x4 piston door that seals you in when you press the lever and ignites a huge array of TNT, which is a useful deathtrap to see if anyone had tried to enter your secret base. I built a super compact and programmable, extendable, simple combo door that doesn't use 1.5.2 minecraft stuff. If a lever is on, put a torch behind it and a block on top. If it is off, put a block below the lever behind it. connect the blocks with redstone, put on a door facing to the wall, and there you have it. The GPU is like your average display. I arrayed the inputs to the pixels with ordered binary inputs. The decoder turns binary input to decimal. The piston train removes and replaces blocks of the train to make it "turn." I also built an encoder that turns decimal input to binary.
I did all of this 99.9% by myself. I had to get some info on binary and logic first, hadn't I? Basically, I built everything myself, but I needed info from the internet first before I could do anything.

Anything else you'd like to mention? (Optional):
I'm still not good with computers, but am really good/all rounded in everything else. Also, many of my creations are lost from world deletions/corruptions, etc.
