   I was wondering if anyone else has run into the "robot problem" in
SimEarth.  There is _zero_ documentation of it in the rule book, and the
only reason I can imagine that they added it is that I seem to recall a
Sci-Fi story (by a Big Name) that proposed that intelligent robots may
have come to Earth (or they developed intelligence here).
   They ate up one of my favorite planets, where I was close to getting
intelligent carniferns, naturally.  I've never come close again.
