Same prog for both the robots: *Label1 : Go left*
* Skip next if oil in my path* * Go to Label1* *Label2 : Go left* * Go left* * Go to Label2* Both robots go left with speed one move per 3 second. After one of them finds an oil spot in its way, it doubles its speed to 2 moves per 3 second. Hence, eventually both the robots will clash.
