Big Brained Foodfinder: Trishark 

I wanted to prove that a 3-D food finder ( a deep water swimming foodfinder)
could be made that had only three smell sensors. I call the result
"Trishark". Trishark's morphology and neural topology were hand coded.
Mutations were allowed to change only connection weights. Trishark was
seleected for distance in an environment with progressively less food. Test
him out in world size of 50, with teleport, water depth 10, auto feed 2,
ball energy 1000. His ability to orient toward the stimulus source is quite
robust.
