When two robots face each other and both move, who moves first, and what happens?

The rulebook's Activation Phase sets turn order by the Priority Token, and experienced posters describe the older card-number rule.

In the current edition the turn order comes from the Priority Token, not the card numbers: the Priority Token holder acts first and play goes clockwise. The robot acting first moves into the gap or pushes, and the other robot then moves afterward. In older editions the higher card number moved first, so a Move 3 went before a Move 2.
