I have been trying new stuff with red stone but I still can't figure out the uses for a repeater. All I can do with it is pretty much extend my redstone dust with it atm. So I would be grateful if someone could show me this stuff. Just add me as a friend and give me a general idea what time you will be on.

Enjoy things while it lasts... too late that creeper just blew it up.

Feel free to add me sir but I wont be on until about 9 central tonight. Good luck!
Also there are alot of tutorials on YouTube about it give em a view.
theyre very useful. just the redstone repeater itself. it makes timing a circuit and fine tuning possible without them we wouldn't be able to make a lot of our redstone creations. also they allow u you to power blocks directly and they can protect wiring that is in close proximity to loose redstone dust.
and one of those creations that is used widely is an actual repeater circuit (clock). its a simple device that uses the pulse delay affect of a repeater to create a constant moving circle of redstone current that can be used to power many devices in a rhythmic pattern
As mentioned, they can keep circuits from "cross-talking" when they're in close proximity. Also used as diodes, for when you want a signal only traveling one direction.

Actually, we can do anything we could now without repeaters. They're an improvement, but not very revolutionary. The first redstone computer was built with nothing but dust and torches, and it was an implementation of 16-bit HACK architecture.
Don't get me wrong, repeaters are indeed useful. Particularly in clocks, where torches don't always cut it, at least not easily. They're also a nice compact way to add a bit of latency to any part of a circuit. They are also emitters, and will turn any block directly connected to the output into an emitter. The conduction of redstone dust regarding repeaters has been updated a couple times since MCXBLA's release. Dust will now connect and conduct with the input or output of a repeater. Nothing can connect to the sides of a repeater. However, in a future update, (if we get it) you will be able to use a repeater, outputting to the side of another repeater, to actually lock its state. Thus, memory-based mechanisms can be even more compact. Another thing to point out is that the input of a repeater can draw power from any block that is a receiver. This is where the repeater can be more useful than a torch. A redstone torch is both a receiver and emitter in its default state, strangely enough. This makes direct representation more difficult, and it takes longer to implement.

Repeaters r good.
