Two blockers hassling R-pentomino[1] is a period-72 oscillator. It was the first known period 72 oscillator, discovered by Robert Wainwright in July 1990.[2]

It is made up of two blockers that hassle two blocks and an R-pentomino. It appears in many large guns such as the gunstars and new gun 2.

On January 12, 2016, Tanner Jacobi found a way to replace the blockers with still lifes.[3] Mark D. Niemiec found a 29-glider synthesis for this oscillator on December 1, 2018.[4] It has since been reduced to 24 gliders.

When supported by p6 thumbs instead, the higher clearance allows gliders to pass through where they would otherwise interfere with the blockers, allowing its use in the current smallest period-1656 glider gun (and, by filters, the smallest of periods 3312 and 6624 as well).[6]
