I've been thinking about this some more, and it got me wondering as to
whether anybody has played around with genetic algorithms for the
automated generation of PIC code to solve some simple task (say maze
solving or pattern recognition)?

Evolving an insect-level robot control program (I hesitate to say
"brain") over millions of generations using a distributed network of
faster than real time simulators, and then downloading the resulting
program to a real robot strikes me as a very interesting project.

If it doesn't work, you're not hitting it with a big enough hammer
