Title: Hard bot
Post by: ashton1993 on May 15, 2011, 01:44:11 PM
Taking up the recent trend created by PhiNotPi I decided to create my own challenge, can you create a bot which uses only a single inc and a single dec? Whilst still remaining as efficient as possible? The shortest bot that can meet the criteria below wins  :D

One inc and one dec?

EDIT: And does it have to reproduce?

EDIT: 2000 cycles a bit too little, don't you think... the max vel of a bot is very low with only up.

Is the bot allowed to become overly specialized?  The bot on the Shortest Fully Functional Bot challenge became so specialized that it could only eat non-moving veggies with 7 eyes, and I don't know if that sort of thing would be allowed here.
