Spaceships

Using caterloopillar technology, Michael Simkin constructed a c/8 orthogonal ship on April 9, 2016.[1] No other spaceship types of this speed are currently known.

Puffers

Caterloopillar technology can be used to yield puffers and rakes.[2]

gollark: Their SoC design people are slightly ridiculously good, yes.
gollark: Or printers.
gollark: There are *time constraints* on *beard growth*? Oh no.
gollark: There are ethical concerns with remotely removing other people's beards.
gollark: > not being immortal
