What do you like the most about redstone?: The satisfaction of making something new and complex as well as pushing the envelope of redstone technology.
What's a thing you have made which demonstrates redstone knowledge?: 256 Byte Redstone Harddrive
What does the thing do?: It reads and writes pairs of 4-tick analog signals to a looped line of comparators to mimick the way a real harddrive spins it's platters and reads and writes them at the R/W head. It has 4 platters of 64 Bytes and each platter has a maximum seek time of 51.2 seconds. There is an added delay of ~2.5s between the write pulse occurring and the write actually taking place (due to limitations of analog bussing) and another ~2.5s on top of that for reading (~5.0s extra wait time to read a byte).

Do you agree with the rules?: Absolutely
