So a few days ago I launched the Web Bot Battle Contest, except it isn't really a contest yet. Since there's no glittering prizes yet... I'm working on that.
In the meantime I've cleared up a bunch of little bugs: driving was actually free, firing could be done with zero energy (which did no damage, but revealed the locations of bots), improved/killed the output by converting to an XML system (which will hopefully allow someone to create a front end to make things pretty). I've also added a few features to help make bots more future compatible like initializing bots with information on scanning range, cost, etc.
If you haven't cracked your knuckles and coded a bot yet, jump in! There's a couple of tweaks and feature ads to come, then I hope to launch it as a fully fledged contest.

Not seen anything like this before. Seems very interesting, although after a real through your docs I don't really understand what to do. I am still new on the rope with PHP
