Nice, that loop looks perfect for a slot machine. Subscribed.

No supersmart piston.
(Smart piston that pushes away transparent blocks in front of it too.)

Only a NSSPWBUD(Not so smart piston with BUD) would do that:

Thanks!

Here is a one wide sideways one, though the top/bottom is used. Also your vertical ones can be tiled if you just alternate them (just so you know).

That looks like it could be very useful.  Thanks for making the video and the post.

I started experimenting with these and noticed a strange glitch. If you put redstone on blocks that the smart piston pushes, the redstone will stay in the same place and intact as blocks are pushed under it. I just thought it was cool and worth sharing(maybe there is a use for it).

Oh neat, you found one to go directly upwards!  I always just botched a sideways and upwards together for that.  Never considered using a transparent block.

Indeed. That has been happening for a while. You, at one point, gold make SR-latches from that concept. Have a torch under glowstone with the redstone on top being swapped with the solid block. Basically it will power the redstone when it is a solid block but not when it is glowstone. You can similarly do it with torches on top of glass and solid blocks

That one was a bit tricky!

Very nice idea, I put that in my redstone lab for future reference.
