== Background Information ==

; What's special about it?

:It is a [[:Category:NanoBots|nanobot]], a [[:Category:Perceptual_Bots|perceptual bot]] and a [[:Category:RamBots|rambot]]. Add the 3 together and the result is an annoying problem bot.

; How competitive it is?

:It is one of the strongest [[:Category:Perceptual_Bots|perceptual bots]] in the rumble.

:It can also defeat a few [[WaveSurfing]]/[[GuessFactor]] megabots with bad [[Energy Management|energy management]].

== Strategy ==

; How does it [[Movement|move]]?

:[[Ramming Movement]] inspired on [[GrubbmThree]]. It follows the same direction the gun is pointing at.

; How does it fire?

:[[Linear Targeting]].

; How does it [[DodgingBullets|dodge bullets]]?

:It doesn´t.

; How does the [[Melee|melee]] strategy differ from [[OneOnOne|one-on-one]] strategy?

:It doesn´t.

; How does it select a target to attack/avoid in [[Melee|melee]] ?

:It always picks the last scanned target. Can´t see any other way to select targets with [[:Category:Perceptual_Bots|perceptual bots]].

;What does it save between rounds and matches?

:Nothing.

== Additional Information ==

; Where did you get the name?

:From [[BulletCatcher]], but it tries to hit bots instead of bullets.

; Can I use your code?

:Yes, although almost all of the code is already on the wiki.

; What's next for your robot?

:Maybe some genetic tuning on the [[Energy Management|energy management]].

:But probably nothing, there is not much room for improvement unless I sacrifice one of the 3 main caracteristics ([[:Category:NanoBots|nanobot]], [[:Category:Perceptual_Bots|perceptual bot]] and [[:Category:RamBots|rambot]]).

; What other robot(s) is it based on?
:[[GrubbmThree]] ("following its own bullets" idea)
