Congratulations to Vincent (Mr Bob author) for the convincing victory, and for gaining promotion for the next series.

Thanks so much to the many engine authors (and others) who supported the live broadcast.
It was tremendous to see.

Congratz to the winner!

Looks like D7 was too much for Ceibo 0.5
Oh well,... Hoping my next version can keep up with these amazing engines.

Ceibo will get stronger.
Nice engine regardless.
