Genetic Metabolism

That is another factor, yes. But complexity's a problem too.
Look at the Civilization series (and it's clones.)
Two nations that're exactly the same in every possible way except that one has a wonder that doubles one of their city's research. Now, if that city just happens to be the nation's biggest research city, then that could really speed their research up.

Now, in Darwin Bots, a similar advantage would be a method of keeping Body actively fed when energy's needed, or made when there's an abundance of energy.

(All of my bots do that, ironically. Much like I prefer having a double-research wonder in Civilization games. :D )

[Edit] I forgot to make my point. :rolleyes:
Anyway, the point is that mutation has a very low chance of creating an active body-energy exchange system thing. It's possible, yes, but very improbable.

Botsareus:
Well A.G.P. just make better robots if you want to keep them activaly fead.

Here is a try on it:

cond
300
*.nrg
>
start
100 'give all the energy to the child
.repro
store
stop

This bot will find a way to matabolize because as far as I know changes in the enzymes happen when the robot reproduces. Am I right? Shvartz?

shvarz:
The changes in enzyme will happen during reproduction, like all mutations.

AGP: Good mutation is always rare.  But right now you can grasp the whole system and design a bot that is very good.  It is because DBs is too simple.  If we make it so complex that you can only create a bot that is so-so (humanly impossible to track all effects of code), then you'll see bots evolving that are better than designed bots.

Anonomous Guest Person:
No offense, but I think the stacking system was thought of as the bonus that mutated bots have over programmed bots.

Zelos:
I agree whit shvarz (what am I doing?) the more complex a system is, the better is the chance that the mutations will turn out good. after a few hundred generatios. it gives more options, a gene can mutate and be complitly different from the original one but still do the same, and then a little mutation can change it and make it better and so on.

when its about proteins take a look here
