Darwinbots uses actual computer code to control the robots. This makes it really hard for evolution to work with. Most mutations just break the code, and very very few mutations create anything interesting. And the simulation is too slow to explore millions of different possibilities to make up for the difficulty. What makes it worse is they are usually asexual. However I think that's ok. Most of the fun with darwinbots is programming your own bots. They used to be (still are?) competitions where people wrote their own bots and had them compete under different conditions.
