@MartinBüttner The 10 questions per day criterion means that quantity determines graduation and nothing else. It doesn't matter if many of those posts are puzzles that are broken, unsolvable, unclear, unclosed dupes, off-topic, or otherwise poor, which happens with an alarming fraction of the puzzles.
Puzzling faces a bigger difficulty that we do with the SE model that because a puzzle's solution is unknown when it's posted, it's impossible to judge if it's good or even on-topic.
@Zgarb I think both. The HNQ-sposion from the early days is less extreme, and there's more community willingness to remove blatant crap. Still, there aren't real quality standards now.

The questionnaire is a great part of the election process, but during my first (first-hand) experience with an election, over on Code Golf, I've found that the timing of the questionnaire is a bit unfortunate. Others have noted that too in the election chat, so I'm quite surprised that this hasn'...
@CoolestVeto Out of respect for suspended users, we typically do not discuss suspensions in public because the user being discussed can't participate in the conversation.
@PhiNotPi Why wouldn't it? As I understand it, the caret bot would be pushed to the side, and the three bots on the right would execute the zap chain just like the ones on the left.
So I'm working on this challenge, and is there a way to determine what the highest value produced would be without iterating through them? Maybe some bitwise magic?
It wouldn't affect program flow in itself, but it would allow the bot controller to switch between two complex behaviours with a single turn by changing that one jump
Oh MOVE_BACKWARDS - just reread the spec. I was thinking of reading the code backwards so I thought it was something new (and was trying to imagine how it would work...)

I'm just giving this a "code bots" title because that's the most similar previous KOTH. This version is based on the Twin Tin Bots board game, and will probably be given a better name before posting.

I remember I almost posted about how I thought pretty much any answer would have the "cannot be played on music player X problem", but decided it was probably too pedantic :P
@EasterlyIrk As far as I know there isn't a way to do it directly. You could make a system call, but it'd be shorter to just use the native system call as your submission.
