When people say “RANDOM” they often mean: LUCK Good luck, bad luck Improve your luck CHANCE What are the chances? You have a better chance UNPREDICTABLE It is not completely unpredictable DISORDER Is it complete disorder or just mild disorder?

NO.

You can never know what happens next in a series of random events never

Example ? Each robot has two alleles. Either allele from each robot can end up in the new robot.

? So there are four possible outcomes: Example If a sand allele from robot A combines with a rock allele from robot B, you get...

is RANDOM. Which of the 4 possible combinations you get ??? ?

If you start with two Rockbots

and each has a sand allele,

and you got three Rockbots in a row

and you really need a Sandbot,

how many extra tries will it take? (0 means on the next try, no REDO)(means 4 Rockbots in a row, then a Sandbot) (means 27 Rockbots in a row, then a Sandbot)
