SiriusPrater:
I'll work on that then.  Sounds good.  Do you think the adaption capability should be removed or changed?  It does seem to weaken the bot.  Interestingly, during long simulations without competition, this bot usually adapts to having either one or two horses, instead of the four it had originally.  At one time, I even remade the bot to allow for the "rider" to carry around an algae battery with it.  While it worked, it did have a great deal of instability, where two MBs became connected by the algae.  My conspec recognition should have handled it.  It could have been a timing problem.  I don't think this bot will be league level.  What do you think?

Panda:
Well, I don't really know. I am currently writing a bot designed for a league battle, but the problem about league bots is that they have all been written by people who were here many years ago, and then the leagues haven't been ran for years now, too!

SiriusPrater:
Why aren't the leagues being ran?  There are a great deal of bots with league designations.  I didn't use a designation for this one because I didn't think it would last in a MB league.  When I used it against the bots provided in the new installer, it was clear that tie feeders have a powerful advantage.  I suppose without the use of slime, that will be the case.  I did try to cheat a little...I made a batterybot that used a veg to create the slime and shared it, but still the slime disappeared the very next cycle. 

Panda:
The main reason is that the leagues have not been ran for years, so there is around 50 pages of unsorted bots. It is multibot as it falls into that category, really, you would probably struggle against any league, really, I cannot beat that many bots in the league, well, my old bot, Haud Nomen (single gene), could, but I lost that one. Slime degrades really quickly.

SiriusPrater:
Perhaps everyone should resubmit any bot they wish to compete with.  That would make more than a few people upset, but it would allow for a clean bot bank, and, ultimately, some competition.  I know it's easy for me to say that, with only one bot submitted, but we'd all win in the end, I think. 
You said that slime degrades quickly, but I thought the .mkslime command was faulty.  Any bot I've made using slime just poisons itself with waste, and it only reaches 100, the max it can store per cycle.  Am I just using it incorrectly?
