114P6H1V0 (or bulldozer[1]) is an c/6 orthogonal spaceship discovered by Paul Tooke in October 2008.[2] It was the second c/6 orthogonal spaceship to be found that does not involve a dragon (the first one being 274P6H1V0).
The spaceship features a strong central forward spark and a slow enough speed, allowing it to run right over some small still lifes and oscillators and continue on unharmed.[3] It emits back sparks as well, which can perturb a glider in various ways when assisted by other c/6 spaceships. With perpetually recycled gliders, a dirty c/6 puffer[4] or even a clean rake is possible.
Variants
The front part of the spaceship was found as a self-supporting wick, where the repeatable component can stabilise itself in any of three unique ways, making the spaceship arbitrarily extendable.
In May 2009, Hartmut Holzwart found the following pushalong for this spaceship.[5]

In 2013 and 2014, Josh Ball found three more pushalongs.[6][7]
