Genetic Brick Cars

About

This is a simple experiment in genetic algorithms that aims to develop a LEGO car that rolls down a slope.

The cars start as a collection of random blocks, and each subsequent generation combines blocks from the better performing cars, hopefully achieving a viable model after several iterations.

For the LEGO nerds out there, the parts used are: 3001 (2x4 brick) and 3003 (2x2 brick), 6249 (2x4 brick with pins), 56902 (wheel), and 61254 (tire). The brick colors are from the 2010 palette.
