Several propagating and stationary patterns have been observed in the model of excitable media on face-centered cubic lattice. In this research, we consider a propagating pattern called type-I glider on the lattice as a flying bit 0. By colliding it with another propagating pattern called type-II glider in the proper configuration, it can be turned at right angles. Colliding a type-I glider with another in the other proper configuration converts it into a type-IV glider which represents a flying bit 1. Furthermore, the collision of a flying bit 1 with a stationary pattern can convert the flying bit 1 into 0. These results lead to the possibility of creating logic gates in excitable media.
