Hi Stephen, that would be great without a doubt, but I'm not able to provide an environment where i could run code from everyone and his dog *and* have healthy sleep at the same time. $SAFE might be an approach but i think i remember somebody mentioning thats not really safe. (am i wrong?) At the moment it isn't even reasonable save to assume that a robot did not cheat without looking at the code - $SAFE might be fine to ensure that, i just hadn't had the time. cheers Simon Stephen Waits wrote: > > On Apr 27, 2006, at 3:03 AM, Kroeger, Simon (ext) wrote: > >> But nevertheless, if there is increasing interest in a new >> RRobots tournament we should realy be able to have one again. > > Perhaps something that would be more maintainable would be to create an > on-going KOTH* server?
