abstract = "This paper describes the first attempt to introduce
evolutionarily designed players into the international
Robocode league, a simulation-based game wherein
robotic tanks fight to destruction in a closed arena.
Using genetic programming to evolve tank strategies for
this highly active forum, we were able to rank third
out of twenty-seven players in the category of
HaikuBots. Our GPBot was the only entry not written by
a human.",

top.'
