Hello,

I've been looking at the site and the contest, and a question popped
up when viewing the matches:
Why are the various rounds between the same two robots not identical?
 Where is the non-determinism coming from?

If a particular robot has a non-deterministic controller, that would
explain it.  But I wouldn't expect everyone's controller to be that
way.  Looking through the documentation, I see that the GPS sensor is
noisy, so if people are using that heavily, that could result in some
differences as well.  Are all the sensors noisy?  Are the various
controls noisy as well, or are they deterministic?

If anyone could shed some light on this, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
-Joel
