The sprayer[note 1] is a (2,1)c/6 spaceship found by Adam P. Goucher on May 9, 2021 using his ikpx2 search program.[1] It is a completion of a front end found by Dylan Chen in January 2021 initially using LSSS and extended using ikpx2.[2][3]
Tagalongs
The sprayer's namesake heavyweight spark can be used to support another sprayer with its back third cut off or a wandering minstrel, the latter of which can pull a connecting minstrel.[4] The sprayer's back sparks can be used to pull a traffic light while making it leave blocks, resulting in a period-12 puffer.[5] A dot spark from an adjacent heavyweight[6] or lightweight[7] minstrel (supported by a Sir Robin) can turn the block predecessors into gliders, resulting in a backrake.
