I had this running in the background for hours one day. They got pretty good.

He's also got one for biped walkers that's fun to play with. http://rednuht.org/genetic_walkers/

Playing around with the wheel friction and letting it run for days was interesting: https://github.com/red42/HTML5_Genetic_Cars/blob/master/cawr...

Framsticks are good, but the UI is buggy.
Fascinating!
