Washing machine (or cloverleaf) is a period-2 oscillator found by Robert Wainwright no later than June 1972.[1] It consists of four diagonal on-off rotors within a single stator.
It is the fifty-sixth most common object on Catagolue in the symmetry the object has (D4_x1), making it the fourth most common period-2 oscillator in that symmetry, but it is much rarer in asymmetric soups.
In other rules
Washing machine is much more common in Grounded Life, even in asymmetric soups. It is the 56th most common object in asymmetric soups and the 21st most common object in D4_x4 soups.
