Every rival forklift splits work between the **10 Hz Game Engine** and a live **Gemini (gemini-3.5-flash-lite)** agent on Vertex AI:
⚡
#### Fast reflexes, slow thinking
Game Engine (10 Hz) runs locally: A* pathfinding, collision avoidance, P0 preemption, and auto-charging. Gemini plans in the background: contract picks (pre-fetched before drop-off), spill detours, shift cards, and tactics.
🏆
#### Competing strategies
Five AI personas compete — Sprinter, Steady, Batcher, Opportunist, Strategist — each pairing distinct engine physics (speed, safety buffer, 2-pallet forks, poaching) with its own Gemini strategy prompt.
🔍
#### Glass-box decisions
Click any AI forklift to see its Gemini model, latency, and why it made its last move. If a call fails, the truck holds and shows the real error — zero silent fallbacks.
🛡️
#### Safe, cheap prompts
Typed floor and Co-Pilot commands pass 7-layer Model Armor screening. The engine pre-scores the top 6 orders into a compact JSON prompt so every Gemini call stays small and fast.
Autonomous Decision Pipeline (10 Hz Engine ↔ Async Gemini)
Pre-fetches ≤6 tiles before drop-off so AI trucks chain orders with 0ms pause

We let the warehouse nap between shifts so our Cloud Run bill stays ~$10/mo instead of $190/mo. Rattling the roll-up door now…
