Simplest Evo Starter Bot

Challenge

What's the simplest bot you can start an evo sim with?
The bot must survive in the majority of sims that are run.

If you're willing to run long evo sims then post what your minimalbot eventually evolves into (optional)

Griz:
 an idea that just popped into my head:
what if we had a number of TestSims ...
various levels/gauntlets to run, so to speak?  
a variation on leagues ... but with a User Bot having to
work it's way thru various levels of pre-set sims ...
becoming ever more complicated/challenging.
if/when your bot can pass these 'tests' ...
it may be entered into the stable ....
or hall of fame, etc.
an entrance exam if you will.

Elite:
Hey, good idea

How about disabling reproduction (or having bots that just don't reproduce) and having 'bot teams' compete against other 'bot teams'. Kinda like a league except without reproduction (so no out-reproducing your opponents). It emphasizes individual strength (ie. Ymir) over strength in numbers.

Rules:
Standard F1 except no reproducing
Viruses, ties etc. allowed
Start with 10 bots each
Half the map given to each contender at start

Numsgil:
Sounds fun.  If walls ever worked, they would seem to me to be absolutely required to make interesting enough simulations, since it changes the pattern by which bots spread.

EricL:
All sound like fun.

Regarding Num's original challenge, I've started an evo sim on my other machine where other than some Alga, the starting bot has no DNA.  Just:

Stop
End

I wouldn't even have that except there seems to be a bug where DB hangs if a bot doesn't have at least this.  It runs fast, already over 125k cycles, lets see if anythign evovles.

Of course, there are no costs...
