Not really, it's everybody against everybody.
The ones at the sides actually tries to push the ball to the side, but they
don't quite succeed, so they end up helping the green one...

That's up to the bot designer. MY bots try to get down behind the ball
before they begin pushing it. However, the blue one is a bit more careful to
get back just behind the ball before it pushes, while the other three are a
bit better at catching the opportunity to push when it's there. With other
game settings (maxspeed, inertia, fieldsize, etc.) the blue one might have
won...

That would be really easy to change, since it really wouldn't make am actual
difference.

Anyway, thanks for your interest! I hope you will try out designing your own
bot :-)
