But what to do with them?
Included in this post will be ideas and gates that use the repeater.
This is not a tutorial for the complete and utter newbie. For basic redstone help, please look somewhere else.
We're going to start with the easiest thing, which actually isn't a trick, but a feature.
Chaining
From now on, we're going to use the unit 'Steps' for delays.
In that state, the delayer(as we're going to call it henceforth) has a delay of 0 Steps.
With every right click, the delay changes, up to an amount of 3 steps.
By placing delayers right after eachother, one can get even greater delays.
This brings us to a somewhat more difficult subject, but it's important.
Pulses
Yes. With the new delay blocks, you can actually change the time in which a redstone wire is on or off.
In the real world, this is known as Pulse Width Modulation. In Minecraft, we're going to work with a unit I call 'PulseSteps', the duration of a Pulse.
Calculations in PulseSteps are hard, seeing as redstone torches can malform pulse durations into non-integers.
The pulse shortener gate
Let's face it, a button gives us a short pulse, but sometimes it's not short enough.
This is where the pulse shortener comes in handy.
Ok. I'm sure there are better uses than rave rooms. But that was the first thing to come to my mind.
Also, you might want to see the videos to learn a bit on the working. I figured out a cheap way of making side by side wires with repeaters, and a way to create 180's and supply power to alternate areas.
What's this solution?
Blocks.
Opposed to torches, if a repeater gives power to a block, the entire block become a power source. It fires power in EVERY direction. You can place one of these in the middle of a repeater sequence to pull power out at specific points. That also means you could create vertical chains by hooking it up to a vertical inverter.
Just sayin'.

well, you beat me.. I thought I was clever when I did this on a 3x5, again when I made it 2x3x2, but this is smaller, and can be RESUMED after returning to the game/server. if you run a redstone wire under the two repeaters, the tick will start again(EDIT: to be clear, you have to change the signal to the wire). there are some other special things you can do with this setup that I go into, for the sake of not typing it all again, here's a link: http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=1020&t=190443
thanks. the new update may have actually broken this though... its only working for me now if the toggle gets gets stuck on one side, but not the other... this always happened with the 2x3x2 option, but I'm pretty sure I had it working 100% on the flat one, but now neither your's or mine work more than half the time... this idea may be toast... unless there's a specific orientation that works, but I doubt it...
With that 1 clock you could pimp the arrow-trap-when-you-destroy-a-block trap

>Begin claiming it ruins the game "MINECRAFT ISN'T A BED/DOG/HAVING FUN SIMULATOR, IT'S ABOUT STANDING IN YOUR HOUSE WITH NOTHING TO DO ALL DAY REMOVE EVERY FEATURE GUH"
actually, they allow you to put two Redstone paths next to each other without them mixing. thats something. also, if you clicked my link, you'd see that it allows high clocks to be repeated over a distance. I'm also working on a capacitor, even though I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it yet, you couldn't do that before. although it has to be discharged manually... I hope they make these work like transistors or something where they can be blocked when powered from the side... although that could be hard to implement w/o breaking half the good things about them.. could add an inline AND I guess...

This is where the pulse shortener comes in handy.
It looks like this: http://filesmelt.com/dl/Delay2.jpg
It is an AND gate with 1 input undelayed and one input delayed. This gate needs to be set, though.
It can be said that:
Output pulse time duration = Input pulse time duration - The delay set in the gate
The pulse lenghtener gate
Place reserved for future additions
Lemme sum that up.
1. Make a 1-clock in a 2x3 space:
2. Make a rave room:
Tadah!

Thanks!
That being said, I made this:
Automatic Mob-Proof Door made betta with the Beta (1.3)
Automatic Double Doors + GANGSTA RAP!!!
