Re: Unfinished Herschel Climber (28,3)
Well, since the 3rd is refected with a LWSS, slowing it down allows to shift that glider back whereever you like, though there is a phase-parity issue to worry about, but as far as I can tell it actually matches the offset needed to make the units I and FWKnightship’s units needs, but one might need...

Well I knew it could be constructed, but did not feel like pushing it here, for some strange reason there is many 180deg reflectors that showed up lately, it might be time to make a pattern that contains them all, and look for the "smallest" possible for each possible offset.
