Edge-repair spaceship 2
Edge-repair spaceship 2 is a c/4 orthogonal edge-repair spaceship that was found by Stephen Silver in November 2000. Leading up to its construction, its T-tetromino component was found to be self-repairing by David Bell in October 2000. Soon after, Silver observed that it could be used to delete beehives, and thus created this spaceship.
