Made the web page a bit easier to use. BattlePak doesn't work.

A bit of miscellaneous maintainence on the page, it shouldn't change drastically any more. Note: Please use the url coolfantasy.tripod.com and email luke_worth@softhome.net, not go.to/coolfantasy and coolfantasy@go.to!

First time this page is out on the net.
The competitions!
You can download a rover by clicking on its name.
If there is a blank spot (without a table of rankings), then no-one has sent in their rovers for that track yet (hint, hint).
The rules
These tracks are using the built-in rules (I haven't modified them at all). There is no time limit. If both the bots are hopelessly stuck in a corner or going endlessly around in circles, then it is considered a draw. If the game comes very close, I will run it through a few more times and get the best out of three. You are allowed to use only the standard Cognitoy parts.
To submit your rover, send me an email giving me your name, the name of your rover, the rover itself, and if you only send the .vmf then tell me that. You can send it in any zipped form (.zip, .tar.gz, .rar, whatever), just as long as I get the .vmf file. Send in the .wst and .ice files if you want everyone to see your wiring. Click here to mail me your rover!
The nitty-gritty
Mindrover is a great programming game by Cognitoy. If you don't have it, then get it! I am running all these competitions on a RedHat Linux 7.2 machine, with Mindrover v1.07a (Lokified). I will try to update the scores every week. Feel free to send me a comment. Back to the top
