I was thinking "Hunter Robots" can eat the plants "Directly"

P.S.

You still did not post any dna or settings...

PurpleYouko:
OK here is a simple robot with a possible enzyme array.

Just an idea. I haven't entirely worked out the best way to read the grid yet


--- Code: ---' reads the grid one ahead. If it has more stuff than this one then move ahead
cond
*.gridahead *.grid >
start
1 .up store
stop

cond
*.nrg 6000 >
start
50 .repro store
stop
end

enzyme ff12b56cae
--- End code ---

All this will do is move straight ahead, constantly feeding from the e-grid using its enzymes

I have no idea what this enzme number will contain but the chances are that it will have one or two useful enzymes in it. The enzyme coding hasn't been worked out yet.

Imagine that 2b56c represents an enzyme that is pretty good at extracting methane from the egrid. It will constantly work based on the present concentration of the methane at the bot's current location.

Maybe 22b56 is another enzyme that is able to extract energy from sunlight. This robot doesn't have it right now but a small mutation of the enzyme pattern will easily enable it for the next generation.

1 yes they can if their DNA includes shooting and if they carry the right enzyme to digest plant material

2 Dude! Give me a chance! I do have a life outside of DB you know. And it involves working!

 :rolleyes:  PY  :rolleyes:

Botsareus:
ok , nice , code it , code it. take a week off and then code it.

PurpleYouko:
As I said with my two possible options, the shot will either return pure energy after pre-digesting a small part of the target or it will return undigested material that the robot will process internally.

As it is now, a robot without -1 shoot store can evolve it but is not that likely to.

All a robot would need in additin to this is the correct (or one of the many correct yet differently efficient) enzymes that will allow it to metabolize fat, protein, lignin(trees) or cellulose(leaves) or any of the other myriad things that a bot could specialize in.

Without the correct enzyme a shot will just return a bunch of useless material .

Anyway. Gotta go home now.

Catch ya all later.... maybe
