Basics
The robots in Gladiabots are autonomous and obey their Artificial Intelligence (AI). Bots can only execute one of the possible actions at a time. The AIs task is to determine what action to use in the current situation. Each bot checks its AI counterclockwise, searching for the first valid branch leading to an action.

Rest of the page is a work in progress. |
The AI of a bot is shaped like an upside down tree. It can be composed of the following elements:
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Root node | Each AI contains exactly one root node that defines the AIs starting point. It contains the name of the AI. |
| Action node | If a rectangular-shaped action node is evaluated valid during AI check, the described action is executed for the current tick. An action node is considered invalid if the bot cannot perform it .
|
| Condition node | If an oval-shaped condition node is evaluated valid during AI check, the elements connected from the bottom of the condition node are evaluated counterclockwise. A condition node is considered invalid if the current situation doesn't fit it.
|
| Connector node | The diamond-shaped connector node is always evaluated valid during AI check. It connects every element linked to the top with every element linked from the bottom of the connector node. A connector node can be used to simplify the layout of the AI. |
| Sub-AI node | |
