Re: off contest matches

 
how about adding another parameter like robot energy which decreases when not moving and increases with movement (inverse reality!!). Therefore robots not moving die perhaps after 30 sec's whereas a moving robot will create enough energy to last the full round time limit?? Crazy idea??

Hi,

Thanks Bothari for this proposal. I believe it is doable, and maybe not 
so difficult to implement. I will implement it as soon as possible 
(probably tomorrow). In the meanwhile, I may also implement some rules 
to shorten the boring matches where no robot is moving.
