The code I write for the robot wins script is duplicated in the draw script. One should be able to have different scripts. Can this error be fixed?

That certainly fixed the script issue. I do find it freezes up occasionally when it's the robot's turn, particularly when using the middle position. Can't see any other pattern to cause it.

Can you provide more information to reproduce the "freezes up" scenario?

Freezing only occurs when it is the robot's turn - it says thinking, but fails to complete it's turn.  I just kept playing, using the middle square more often than the corners and it froze a few times.
