Wow, HN is so great. Thanks for creating crobots! It was briefly very popular at my school in Sydney, Australia in the mid 1990s. Some of the then high school student programmers went on to do OS research (SEL4) and at least one joined a kernel team at Apple. I myself recently (10 years ago) veered from software to robotics, possibly subconsciously emboldened by crobots.

If you are up to it can I suggest recording an audio interview with the Oral History team at https://computerhistory.org/contact-us/ about your life?

I didn't know there was anything that predated Core War (1984). Cool, thanks.

That’s seriously cool. I was a huge fan of RobotWar but had not heard of CRobots!

Wow, just a few days ago I used ChatGPT and Claude to create bots to battle in CRobots!

Thanks!
