It may be a nontrivial challenge to find a glider synthesis of a "trivial" pattern. Are such oscillators glider-constructible?

xp2_rhewellewehr has a known synthesis, but xp2_rhewellewellewehr does not (yet?), and xp2_rhewellewellewellewellewehr does not have either a known synthesis or a soup in some Catagolue census.

Really weird doodle I made which spits out a paperclip and two B-heptominoes (An R is created which results in a collision with the symmetric part and the creation of the second B and Paperclip follows after that)
