I'd be into doing project X again, but it would reach the point where we
are looking for milli second improvements in time, rather then seconds.
I didn't do rice this time, but after watching it I'd be interested in
giving it a try.

Take it apart and start from scratch if we do it again. My feeling is
that it should be a next year kind of thing instead of in a month or two.

Instead of talking time per move, we should talking maximum game length.
Say 10 minutes, then give each robot half that time to make it's
moves. So in this case 5 minutes each. Then game times are controlled
and you can spend more time thinking about a particular move if you wish
to, and less time when the move is obvious.
