Conclusion



Demonstrated that parasitic “follow-the-leader”
strategy is beneficial.
Consistently finished within the top three average
scores for most race configurations.
In the “arms-race,” a follow-the-leader strategy is
intrinsically one step behind, but this forced our
player to be robust.
