Martian: Corrected a mistake. You should not use poison/venom when attacked by cannibots since they have no effect on members of he same species.

-Cannibots, or Canni's for short, is a bot that has turned cannibalistic. It typically attacks everything within range, often including it's own children. Since cannibalism can be viewed as a devolution, many dislike Canni's and typically try to avoid them in their sims. Quite often once cannibotism becomes established, one single bot will wipe out the rest of the population and subsequently die without leaving any descendents.
+Cannibots, or Canni's for short, are bots that attack everything, including their own population.
-'''Ways to avoid Canni's'''
+===Problems:===
-One of the better ways to fight cannibotism is to decrease birth nrg since a weaker offspring is unlikely to kill the parent.  Another method is to ensure that bots are forced to work together either due to enviromental circumstances or internal feeding methods.

+*Make offspring smaller since a weaker offspring is unlikely to kill the parent...
-Considering that often Canni's are a part of life in EvoSims it is an even better strategy to plan for them from the outset. Genes that allow a bot to fight or flight if attacked are guaranteed to help. Other ways to help ease the transition from normal to Canni is with genes fireing only when refage is 20 >; at this stage a child will have likely been able to get away, leaving the parent free to feed from nearby bots.

+*Genes that allow a bot to fight or flight if attacked are guaranteed to help.
-Although viewed as unpleasent, cannibalism is Darwin in action.  A bot that "discovers" it can eat its siblings/parent has gained an incredible advantage and access to a new food supply.  Even if the bot is unable to reproduce, it places strong selective pressures on the other bots in hunts, which can be viewed as a positive.
