Minecraft - Piston Elevator v2

This is version 2 to of my piston elevator. This new design adds the up and down ability. It utilizes the small collision mask of glass panes for the play to sit in and a half block will push the player up or down, half blocks are needed because they don't suffocate on the ride down and they make it easier to get in/out of - stairs don't work because they for some reason cause the player to fall through them. This design uses a rotating piston loop and just cycles blocks that push you up, and will use the other end of the cycle to bring you down. I added a start and stop button to this, just because it uses a repeater clock, which isn't very reliable after save/loading the world. The start button is simply a mono-stable circuit that applies power to one part, and the stop button just breaks the chain with a sticky piston. This design is not at all resource intensive, requiring only 4 pistons, one sticky piston, and minor amounts of redstone components. Sadly this can only really be used with up to 3 floors, due to the limit of blocks pistons can push, but you can always setup another one if you need more floors. I used the iron bars to make it so the player can fit and still just walk off onto the next floor; this works because the iron bars only have about half a block of collision and the player is half on the block. As far as I could tell, the iron bars are the best way to do this because they will not combine with the glass panes, and the player will have the ability to just walk onto the next floor, ladders can also be used but then the rider will need to climb the ladder.

Sorry about the uglies in the video after 2 minutes in, they don't show up on the video when I play it back on my computer - Any suggestions on how to fix them?

Thanks for watching.
