Anyone know the difficulty of creating a 3x2 piston door within a confined space? Say ~9x7x3 (Length, Height, Depth)? Not concerned with visible pistons in the walls, but I would like the redstone to be hidden under the floor (and partially in the ceiling for the top piston)
My current attempts have redstone buried up to 3 blocks deep in various ways (part of that 7-block height), two stone plates (one inside, one outside) wired to a NOR gate (on the inside), and 5 of the 6 needed pistons connected and in-sync with each other. It's reaching the top piston that is really tricky because of moving a charge vertically while fighting off redstone's affinity to link to a nearby redstone torch OR a torch's affinity for powering nearby blocks, including one of the pistons on the side.
Not going to attempt to draw anything because what I have is a mess and I have no problem trashing it if someone else has a better idea.

Watch this
Remember to watch the second video(look at the annotations) or else it wont close correctly.
Actually, I was referring to a door 2 blocks high and 3 blocks wide. The above video is clever, but is using 3 high and two wide. Will keep it in mind for the future, though!

Nevermind, just figured it out. Ironic.

This compact enough?
