What takes time seems to be the simulation of the robots, not the execution of the controllers, thus a 1-robot world would perform with at least twice the speed compared to a 2-robot world. Is that correct? When trying to remove a robot from the scene tree Webots craches so I have not been able to try this out. Would it be possible to add a judo world with just one robot?
