When a new robot is born, it has a big thick tie attched to it's mother. This tie goes away after a while but in a contest for dominence every second counts.
This is how you get rid of that pesky tie.
You can't directly delete the birth tie so use these two genes.
cond
*.robage 0 =
' when the robot is first born
start
.tie inc
' puts a 1 in .tie so it fires a tie at its mother
' since only one tie can exist between any 2 bots
' this replaces the birth tie.
stop
' follow this gene by another that deletes the tie.
cond
*.robage 1 =
' robot is aged one cycle
start
.deltie inc
' puts a 1 in .deltie
' bye bye tie!
stop
All the top bots use a version of this these days.
