My suggestion for a future Darwin Game tournament is to get rid of the 0, 1, 4, and 5 moves, and leave 2 and 3 as the only legal moves. Serious bots generally don’t need or use the other moves, so they mostly just make you add annoying special case logic to get a few more points out of GoofBots in the early game.

It’s a good point but in the original Darwin Game story, the opening sequence 2, 0, 2 was key to the plot.
