What do you mean?

It was meant as a really simple bot. The only reason I can find it isn't reproducing is that it was blocked by something. Or it has already tied to something.

And the stuck thingy is possible then when the bot can't reproduce and therefore do nothing at all becouse there is a ''*.multi 1 ='' condition.

Post by: SlyStalker on March 05, 2013, 02:36:51 AM: Hmm... basic but interesting bot... i just dont get how the partnership between the two bots is beneficial though. i mean, the guy on the end being dragged around should act as a defensive turret or something, not just dead weight. also, maybe the guy on the end should share some energy with the 'motor' bot when it is low on nrg or something. other than that, well done!
