31c/240 Herschel-pair climber
The 31c/240 Herschel-pair climber (or 31c/240 reaction) is the mechanism defining the rate of travel of the Centipede and shield bug spaceships. It consists of a pair of Herschels climbing two parallel chains of blocks. Certain spacings between the block chains allow gliders from each Herschel to delete the extra ash objects produced by the other Herschel. Two more gliders escape, one to each side, leaving only an exact copy of the original block chains, but shifted forward by 9 cells.

gollark: I can think of a few things:* some breeds are snapped up by faster people, or collectors - maybe these have different naming preferences to most?* some of mine have weirder names than others
gollark: Interestingly, some of my dragons have many named offspring, others very few.
gollark: The trick to avoiding the pain is to never hunt again!
