Do you run evo-simulation?
PurpleYouko:
I reckon my stsrter bot must be prone to natural selection which takes it up an evolutionary dead end.
The survivoors seem to be those that take out siblings with little or no movement.
:(

Most of the off-springs must be just as good at hunting rabbits as the parent. What you describe sounds exactly like "Muller's ratchet". Also, your rate of mutation accumulation is 5 times higher than mine - I get 4.3 mutation per million cycles (or about 6 mutations per 100,000 born bots). All of this tells me your mutation rate is too high.
How long is your bot's DNA?
How quickly do you see "average mutation" graph go up?
PurpleYouko:
For several generations the offspring remained as good as (in fact mostly identical to) the parent.
It was only after mutations started to accumulate that the problems began.
Tell you what. I will post my start-bot and Rabbit into the beastiary and you can try it out for yourself.
Botsareus:
Ok , The only explonation I see is that for some reason after reproduction somthing causes the parants to die off.
Look at the logical side of things: Ok, A robot gave burth and lost some energy in the prosses, but if the robot reproduces with twice the energy it started the simulation with, and the energy it started the simulation with is enough for it to find food and reproduce. Why the hell is it dieing of if the parants dna is supposed to remain unchanged?. Maybe they simply lose the abilaty to reproduce?
Anyway I beleave the problem is there somewere , once again somthing is causing healthy robots to die.
I mean really what kind of scifi is this: a robot generation is unable to turn and move but is able to kill off all its parants...

PY, I tried your start bot and it can't shoot its own shit. It just truns away from rabbit whenever it sees it. Could you post the settings file you use? And also check that you posted correct file.
