Subject: [alt-beam] G.S.O.A.I.T.
Well, it's bugged me for some time that somebody hasn't develouped a good
'scoring system' for testing phototrophic intelligence, SO, i finally came
up with a descent test, the Goal Seeking Obstacle Avoidance Intelligence Test
(GSOAIT), it's still under construction, but i thought it would be
interesting to see what kind of response i'd get from its early stage, its
under tutorials and then intelligence test! Any and ALL comments are greatly
appreciated, i kinda want to set a standard way to judge general
intelligences of phototrophic and photophobic bots!

Chips will be fairly robust unless:
- you have a deadline
- it's the 'last' one
- it's expensive
- it's underneath everything else
- you would otherwise be finished
Let's call that "Murphy's Electronic Corollary" :-)
It won't do you any harm to know the officially approved way
to handle static sensitive components. Then you can choose
to follow the guidelines or not.
Cheers,
Richard.
