Every now and then, I decide to do some minor experiments with redstone. With the current and glorious incorporation of pistons, today is no exception.
I dedicated a large portion of my flat map to the contstruction of automated doors. So far, a double, one-way door (good for exits) and a fallout door (only closes until repair) have been completed.
Having completed those two doors, I moved on to the double, two-way, pressure pad activated door. It's a little bit more work of brains than I thought. First I place pistons and blocks for the doors, and figure out the circuitry above ground before placing the redstone below ground and hiding the evidence. Building this door on the first step showed me something pretty cool... chompers.
It's clock based, just replicate the circuitry, stand on any of the four pads, and voila. However, I;m sure that the circuitry could be much more simple.

By the way, i figured out the circuitry for the double door. because it's not on topic, I wont post an image unless someone asks
