All that is needed for evolution is variation and selection. Variation
with in the 'genes' of
the population would be the instructions to build each. Selection would
be some method that
would mark the 'unfit', so that they would not reproduce, or at least
less well.
Frex, let's say you have your factory, and each legobot carries its
building instructions, and each
is programmed to run a maze. You have the factory at the end, and it
closes its doors after
10 legobots have entered. You will get fast maze running robots from
this.
