PurpleYouko:
For one thing I have absolutely no clue what you are talking about.  :blink:

All these number and arrows seem to have no relationship to each other or to anything else and it appears that you are just arbitrarily changing them from line to line.

Let's try to lay it out differently

[you]Fitness quotients[/you]
A=20 (the fittest)
B=19
C=19

[you]Most likely Sequence of events[/you] Assuming they each end up with the same energy
A gives birth to B
A gives birth to C

End up with 3 robots with equal energy.

B is a nasty evil robot and starts to attack C
This takes several rounds (lets say 10) during which C (who is really quite nice) is most likely running away at a speed of about 50 and is not attacking B

Meanwhile A is off in search of food which it finds and begins feeding happily away on.

C is now dead and B has about half of C's energy (spent the rest fighting)
A is feeding like crazy and is miles away by now. Probably has more energy than B by now

If and when B catches up with A to attack it, he will be pretty knackered and A will be nice and strong. The only way B will win is if A doesn't fight back. If this is the case then efficiency is irrelevent since B is a Canibot while A is not.

I cannot envision a situation where your scenario is even valid let alone likely.

Not at all
A is either long gone or is stronger than B
The only way this works is if
1) B is more efficient than A at fighting.
2) B is a cannibot and A isn't
Either way that is just evolution. Where is the problem?

Yes it did.

So stop doing it then. You just keep reading the situation all wrong IMO.  :P

Numsgil:

--- Quote ---Num just came up with the a cool solution, Over populate the F1 screen and expect evolution to imporve robots for selective pressure. Going to try it brb.

Thx Num.

:blink: I did?

I must just be so good, I didn't even realize!

Botsareus:
PY , I was talking about A B and C as a species.

And C simply out numbers A and gets lucky.


But ok I am in creative mood:

B is a nasty evil robot and starts to attack C
This takes several rounds (lets say 10) during which C (who is really quite nice) is most likely running away at a speed of about 50 and is not attacking B

Meanwhile A is off in search of food which it finds and begins feeding happily away on. Now B and C attack A as well, so A has a tough time.

B is now dead and C's population nearly doubled form killing all the B. (With the help and trouble of A at the same time.)
A is sorrunded by all the C right now. If this keeps up A has a chance because A is a little better then C. But the veg is reaching its reproduction point and its at its lowest. A is out numbered 1 to 5 now. Ah, finaly vegs reproduce. A is now 3 to 15. O no A and C did not get lucky. A = 0 and C = 12.

If and when B catches up with A to attack it, he will be pretty knackered and A will be nice and strong -In PY's dream land maybe so. The only way B will win is if A doesn't fight back. If this is the case then efficiency is irrelevent since B is a Canibot while A is not.

Numsgil:
That's how evolution works.  Luck is about 90% of what's going on. edit: okay, maybe that's too high, but you get the idea.

Botsareus:
ok looks ugly Num, Waping 421 cycles for 20 minutes. Looks like this is turning out to be a long experiment...
