Pushing robots and priority

Question

Question regarding pushing other robots. Say we have the following scenario:

• Robot A and B are facing each other.
• A plays "Move 3" with priority 800
• B plays "move 2" wity priority 700

Where do the robots end up?

We have played the situation as A wins over B, and B's movement is cancelled out. It seemed to make the most sense. But further reading of the rules says that priority only determines the order moves are carried out.

So which is correct:

1. A pushes B three squares
2. A pushes B three squares and then B pushes A two squares.

Answer 1

Option 2 is correct. You say it yourself, priority only controls what order the robots move in. There's nothing in the rules about cancelling a robot's move.

From page 6 of the Wizards edition:

Priority

The priority numbers on each Program card indicate a robot’s priority for that register phase—how quickly it moves. Whenever robots are likely to bump into each other, use the priority numbers to determine which robot moves first. A higher number means faster movement, so a robot with a 200 card would move before a robot with a 100 card.
