Two groups of autonomous, anonymous, and oblivious mobile robots are deployed in the two-dimensional Euclidean plane, each assigned a distinct task. We study a setting where the two groups must simultaneously solve two conflicting pattern formation problems: the \textit{gathering problem}, where robots gather at a point not known to them a priori, and the \textit{circle formation problem}, where robots occupy distinct positions on the boundary of a circle. Although each robot knows its own task, it cannot identify other members of its group. A prior solution~\cite{Conflict-1} addressed this pr
