1.7.1.4 Alphas

One of the changes slated for Robocode 1.7.1.4 is a new updateMovement() method, which determines the velocity of each bot based on their commands and the rules of Robocode. I'm running some extensive tests on the 1.7.1.4 Alphas and 1.6.1.4 so that we can compare. The main discussion about these changes has been taking place at Talk:Robocode/Game Physics, while some discussion of these tests is going on at User talk:Voidious/Robocode Version Tests.

The score % is for the first bot listed.
