Problems to be Submitted (50 points)

You are to submit a revised version of the Pente robot (and any other associated source code that you wish to edit).

Furthermore, you are to submit a README file that summarizes all design decisions that you made when rewriting the robot.

I will run a preliminary round robin tournament between all submitted robots (and mine), playing two games between each pair of contestants (allowing each player to be the first player once). We will use a per move time limit of 30 seconds on turing for this round robin.

The results of the round robin will be used to seed the players for a final single-elimination tournament to be scheduled for a future class period. We will use a per move time limit of 10 seconds for the final tournament.



I have robots running as follows:
