each robot plays d at first. if it lives long enough, it switches to o. this is incentive to stay alive to help win. next up can be an instinct to repair when damaged. 00c4c08

fun pic of first successful game with above - on left can see that ten robots had been battling for 39 minutes - noticed there was only one klingon base remaining, so on the right jumped into my own ship and got it - winning the game for the federation:)
