In the third-quarter Challenge of 2009 (2K9Q3) the cadets played very few matches, so their results are unreliable.
Instead, the struggle between the Veterans shows interesting results:
The demoted veterans are: DarkSoldier, Jimbo, 854bytes, GulleFjun, Errata, Bosozoku, Janeway, Butterfly, FlameBall, RoboOlm, Teddybear, KillerBees. We can see that the old aged KillerBees is going to fight against the poor cadets again.
The survivors are: Mouth (DT), Tinker (D), KillJoy (D), Bohan (DT), HellFire (ST), Stately (ST), DOOM (788), Multiple (6-5-14), IonStorm (534), StrangeMatter (423), Starkle (345), Spike (262), Tango (111). A small maniple of new robots achieved the requested percentage to survive in at least one category. In particular, Multiple has got very interesting percentages of success in all the categories, but there are still margins of improvements in team category.
