That assumes that it is just as easy for the bot to reach and detach its own
scalp as it is to get to other's scalps. I'd be willing to bet that the
increased range and mobility of the scalping apparatus would render it too
brittle or too hard to control to be able to effectively compete for more
scalps than its own. Plus, the added possibility of stealing scalps that
other bots have taken would make it even more interesting. I think it gives
the builder more paths to take than just bumping into the other bot and
would require more precision and an arm-like device.

You seem to imply that even after a bot was scalped, it could still be
actively hunting. That wouldn't work, because the first thing every bot
would do would be to scalp itself, to get the point, and keep every
other bot from getting that point.

| I meant that the robots would be designed to scalp themselves. At least, that's how I'd build mine. And (unless rules say otherwise), the bot wouldn't have to employ a single method of collecting scalps. I like the idea of scalp scavenging. Steve (...) (26 years ago, 7-Dec-98, to lugnet.robotics)
