The cards in RoboRally all have numbers on them; if there's a 
conflict in clock cycle 3 between two cards, whichever has the 
higher number takes precedence.

Diplomacy, on the other hand, uses support to determine 
precedence -- whichever acting piece is supported by the most 
other pieces gets through.

I suppose we could have support in this game (Diplomatic 
RoboRally?), though it could also be done randomly, or perhaps 
a settable maximum energy allotment for a given action, so 
that whichever action can power up more than other actions 
takes precedence.
