Background Information

What's special about it?
What makes your bot unique?
How competitive is it?
How good is your bot in different circumstances and against different competitors? How does it rank in competitions like the RoboRumble?

Strategy

How does it move?
Movement strategy – Wave Surfing, Random Movement, etc.
How does it fire?
Targeting strategy – GuessFactor Targeting, Pattern Matching, etc.
How does it dodge bullets?
Pretty much the same as the movement section.
How does the melee strategy differ from one-on-one strategy?
Melee is a battle with many bots; one-on-one is a battle with only two bots.
How does it select a target to attack/avoid in melee?
Some bots target the first enemy they see; other bots attack the closest enemy; still others choose the target with the greatest energy. If your bot doesn't support melee, just omit this section.
What does it save between rounds and matches?
What does the bot store in static global variables (between rounds) and in files (between matches)?
