Proposal : Handoff

Add some new syntax to Rule 11 (The Master Control Program), after "if":-

other. "other" represents any other Robot in the Factory; the Robot calling the MCP should choose a single Robot at the start of the program.

Add to the MCP, before the "vent excess power" section:-

// Robots may hand off Product to other Robots to increase their efficiency.

if (keyword = "HANDOFF" && inventory(self) contains product_object) 

{ 

  inventory(self) = inventory(self) - product_object

  inventory(other) = inventory(other) + product_object

  efficiency(self) = efficiency(self) + 1

}
