The sprayer is a (2,1)c/6 spaceship found by Adam P. Goucher on May 9, 2021 using his ikpx2 search program. It is a completion of a front end found by Dylan Chen in January 2021 initially using LSSS and extended using ikpx2.

Tagalongs

The sprayer's namesake heavyweight spark can be used to support another sprayer with its back third cut off, a wandering minstrel (which can pull a connecting minstrel), or a pi minstrel. The sprayer's back sparks can be used to pull a traffic light while making it leave blocks, resulting in a period-12 puffer. A dot spark from an adjacent heavyweight or lightweight minstrel (supported by a Sir Robin) can turn the block predecessors into gliders, resulting in a backrake.
