A highway robber is a pattern which can absorb a glider from the edge of a diagonal strip along which many gliders are moving along close parallel lanes.[1]
Below is a stable highway robber with repeat time 878, assembled by Chris Cain in 2016.[2]
| A repeat-time 878 stable highway robber in perpetual motion. It has a glider-to-MWSS circuit appended. Remove this and add another copy of the circuit to obtain a true highway robber. (click above to open LifeViewer) RLE: here Plaintext: here |
