Plausible tactic?

(1/2) > >>

bacillus:
I was just wondering if you could construct a 'crab-bot' that rotates everything 90 degrees, so it walks, sees, and shoots to one side. The reason for doing so would be to allow reproduction to occur at right angles to everything else, and won't disrupt normal behaviour. Is this an efficient strategy, and has this been done before?

Numsgil:
Yeah, I think you could try that.  Don't think it's been done before.

Panda:
I have never seen that done before, what would happen if it got attacked from behind though? Would it run? Or would it turn 180 degrees?

bacillus:
Pretty much everything remains the same, except that birth occurs to the side. Feel free to steal this tactic  

Moonfisher:
The wikibot actualy ended up having its eyes turn around and navigate backwards. This way offspring come out at the rear, avoiding all sorts of issues. The wikibot can't survive unless you turn on mutations, but I definately noticed how reproduction went a lot more smooth when the offspring doesn't come out in your line of shots. (You can even send off small offspring as decoys if you're being hunted by a strong oponent, and stuff like that.)
