The Rules in Simplicity ~
Each robot starts out in either the black side (square with 3 black
squares and 1 white squares) and the white
side (the big square with 3 white squares and 1 black
square) The black robot receives points
by scoring in the 3 black areas while the
white robot receives points by scoring in 3 white areas. There is also voting areas which are on the
sides. The winning voting area would
be the voting area which has the most balls in it. Balls of the winning voting color counts as
+2 points while balls of the losing color counts as -1 point. The winning robot would get the most points
in its scoring area, an accumulation of points from any red/green balls in its
area.
