This seems to be an intermittent problem, where the robot crashes with an out of bounds error.

That's not really the problem -- I presume that will get discovered and fixed eventually. The problem is that there is no mechanism to continue the game. When the robot freezes, the game is done. You can't KICK the robot, which will reboot it and make a new one take its place. There should be a mechanism for the host (the first person who created the room) to kick any player or robot, then allow another player and/or robot to take its place.

    Glad it's only one in seven for you - I can't run any games
    at all with robots - they crash every time on their first turn!

    Thank you for the bug report and comments.

    I have thus far been unable to reproduce the error you speak
    of. If the error produces a stack trace in your console,
    pasting it here would be extremely helpful.

    Because it is intermittent, it sounds like it may be related
    to threads. It might help if you describe your OS,
    environment, and anything else which might affect
    performance of your system.

    Adding the feature to kick a robot will be considered for a
    future version.
