"Evil is utterly fundamental to human nature" actually understates the scope of the problem, there were also silicon souls on the side of the angels. Some robots advanced fearlessly into poison zones, flashing warning lights to keep other robots out of harms way.

Cool clip chez. I'd like to follow this one. A little white bot vs. black bot cartoonification comes to mind. Have a great weekend!

of robots had formed - helping each other to find food and avoid poison.&nbsp; 
Even more amazing is the emergence of cheats and martyrs.&nbsp; Transistorized 
traitors emerged which wrongly identified poison zone as food, luring their 
trusting brethren to their doom before scooting off to silently charge in a food 
zone </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/51E78D38-9CA1-47C4-B41B-3BD8B6DAC7F2/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
