+ | * '''[[Anti-Surfer Challenge]]''' – It may not help you climb to the top of the [[RoboRumble]], but we still have fun trying to destroy [[Wave Surfing|wave surfers]] as best we can. | ||

+ | |- | ||
+ | |style="color:#000; font-size:90%"| | ||
+ | * '''[[BeepBoop]]''' - The current [[RoboRumble]] champ in General 1v1. Pioneered applying gradient descent in both targeting and surfing. Learn more in [[BeepBoop/Understanding BeepBoop|Understanding BeepBoop]]. | ||
+ | * '''[[DrussGT]]''' – Had been the [[RoboRumble]] champ in General 1v1 for 13 years. A super strong [[Dynamic Clustering]] gun and one of the only bots using a [[Wave Surfing/GoTo Surfing|GoTo Wave Surfing]] movement. And it's [[Open Source]]. | ||
+ | * '''[[Shadow]]''' – A former champ in Melee, 1v1, and teams, this is one of the toughest bots you'll ever face. [[User:ABC|ABC]]'s Shadow has been crushing Robocoders with innovative new techniques, like [[Wave Surfing]] and [[Shadow/Melee Gun]], since long before most of us ever found this game. | ||
+ | * '''[[:Category:Super Sample Bots|Super Sample Bots]]''' – Once you've gotten past the [[:Category:Sample Bots|Sample Bots]] that come with Robocode, step up and test yourself against the Super Samples. | ||

+ | * '''[[PrairieWolf]]''' – An ancient [[Multi-Mode]] bot that's bound to give new Robocoders a healthy challenge. | ||
+ | * '''[[BasicGFSurfer]]''' – The [[Wave Surfing Tutorial]] and [[GFTargetingBot]] provide great starting points for new Robocoders. Put the two together and you'll find yourself just outside the RoboRumble top-100. | ||
