What's special about it?: My first "good" bot. (Meaning its code is not a huge mess).; It is the best robot that doesn't use Rednaxela's kD-Tree.; It is the first robot to use variable bandwidth in surfing.; It was one of the first robots to use Precise Positional MEA in targeting.

How competitive is it?: RoboRumble ‒ APS: 88.28% (5th), PL: 1154-6 (5th), Survival: 95.8%

How does it move?: See Gilgalad's Movement Strategy. It calls setAhead() and setTurnRightRadians().

How does it fire?: See Gilgalad's Targeting Strategy. It calls setFireBullet().

Can I use your code?: Yes, it is released under the FreeBSD license. The source is in the JAR file and the license should be at the top of each .java file.

What robots is it based on?: The code is my own, but I did get ideas from other robots. See the credits for more details.

What's next for your robot?

For the immediate future:

I also plan to try "LtL" targeting and movement (secret), and neural networks.

Strength in numbers. After adding about five new classification schemes to my movement, I thought this made sense.

Thanks go to the following people (the list is in no way complete and will probably never be so):
