Building the 119.3R4.10M6
Hey I saw the information and tried to build the 119.3R4.10M6 Ares. Since I had no pictures I tried to built it on my own. And I would like to see if you have any suggestions on how build it better.

Since I do not know how to post pictures on the Minecraft Wiki i provided a link to see the pictures.

There are captions to what camera angle they are.

Thanks so much for the pics! You did a great job building it, although it does not quite look like mine, but should have almost the desired affect. One thing, which is a common misconception: The fence post should be one block lower, with a stone pressure plate on top. That way, like the half-slab, the activated Shot TNT rests 1/2 a block higher than the charge. (This is better than the half slab because, while the TNT rests on the same level, in the fence version there is actually no matter in between the charge and the shot; its resting on the air.) I like your idea for the condensation system, its vertical, while mine are horizontal. I think your condensation system might be more efficient than mine. Another thing: Your delay might not be at the full potential: I have this for my Ares: First you activate button, which is directly connected (no repeaters) to the condensation charge. Then after R4.2, the the charge activates. Then, after another R4.8, the shot activates. I think (but am not sure) that you have a repeater with the min setting connected to the condensation charges. Then you have 2 repeaters,connected to the main charge, but I don't think they both were set at max setting. For the maximum efficiency, you would have to, after the condensation delay, have R4.2, then a R1.1, all in between the charge activator and the the condensation activator you have there.

Another thing: where the charge sits before its activated, I think you should put a guide block. That way the shots are more accurate.

How many blocks far does your cannon shoot after you have made those changes? I would like to compare it to my version.

My version does have simpler redstone, maybe your extra wiring makes a difference. I do not know how to post pics to wiki, or use dropbox, but i'm gonna learn soon, so I can give pics. Thanks!

I did what you said the cannon has improved. The modified cannon shot at a distance of 127, 148, 162, and 187 blocks away. (Note: The modified cannon is the only one that landed.) Plus could you please define guide block?

Here are some pictures
