Wow that's a good one.

Given that both programs are identical, you'll need to use the fact that the 
only difference in the "input" is that one robot has another parachute to 
his left, and one has another parachute to his right.

Something like this should work (I think):







(spolier space)


















.slow_loop
Move left
Move right
Move left
Skip_next_if_parachute
Goto slow_loop

.fast_loop
Move left
Goto fast_loop
