To make bots from scratch I simply copy and paste genes, and change around numbers, possibly. But I'd be happy to evaluate experimental bots, because I have plenty of time.  However, I do see what you want to figure out. You want to make it like a leech. Attatch to the prey and take only some of the energy instead of taking it all and killing it immediately. Something similar to this behavior is called a battery bot, where it finds a plant, latches onto it, and tugs the plant around everywhere it goes, occasionally sapping energy off of it.

Well yes. Preferably I want it to tug just 1 vegetable behind it...(using fixang and fixlen and stifftie) then using (Probably memloc, or if I learn viruses I'd use a virus to implant a 'follow me using tin1' gene...that'd be more efficient) I'd make the battery just follow...like the multibot tutorial has 1 offspring to the head which follows.

A batterybot exactly. And hopefully it'll keep just enough DNA for the veg to survive

Maze league would be amazing. This technically actually does the opposite to what you say though. It makes sure NOT to consider it into movement (the hunter gene is so complicated with its random turns its why its bumping about)...It just says, if reftype 1 = then pretend nothing is there. It does seem to falter with 1 thing. I want them to primarily disperse, but 90% of the time when reproducing they don't do there random hunting pattern. they just sit there. Which shouldn't happen as I've done .refeye .myeye = in the hunt genes. Confused its made me.

Actually, yes, a Maze League would be a great idea. It taps into the region of pathfinding, something any AI can struggle at. Also, I like the idea of using a virus to entice the prey to follow the popper. In fact, if it were a self-replicating virus, then the popper could have an army of batteries that follow it everywhere.

Hmm. But how would they join on, only 3 ties. We can't shoot our energy at the opponent

spork22:
You mean, convince the infected bot to tie to the popper?
