Rematches

Some teams decided to play some friendly matches a few days after the competition. The agents used were slightly “improved” or contained less (or more) bugs compared to their contest versions. See the results listed below.

The Scenario

Our scenario consists of two teams of agents moving through the streets of a realistic city. The goal for each team is to earn as much money as possible. Read the full description.
