The big problem with the elimination is that in each match, one
robot must win, and the other must lose. That doesn't fit with the rules for
this event.
This software will rank robots based on the points scored, and in the next
round, put them against robots with a close point total (so good robots go
against other good robots, and not-good robots go against other not-good
robots) but the same two robots will not meet each other a second time.
It has the same effect as the elimination, where the winners go against
other winners, but the "losers" don't go home.
Any number of rounds can be run, but with between 8 and 16 robots, at least
4 rounds should be run. Then there will not be more than one robot to win
all it's matches.
If time/interest permits, more rounds can be run. Up to "n-1" where
n=number of robots.
Questions?
