Mainz Rolling Brains

Our agent team is the result of a development which had to take place under tight time limitations. The total development time available was slightly less than three months where over most of the time the team developers could invest no more than a few hours per week. The code was developed from scratch to improve over the design and quality of last year’s code. Thus one of the challenges was to keep a smooth development line and to avoid dead ends in the development, as well as to maintain a development environment in which a larger number of developers could work productively.
