== Background Information ==

; What's special about it?
:It's my first ''decent'' melee bot. Also, it's my first bot that doesn't have a Star Wars themed name ;)

;How competitive is it?
:It should do OK, it was competing decently with (but not quite winning against) some of the top melee MiniBots.

== Strategy ==

;How does it [[DodgingBullets|dodge bullets]]?
:It doesn't really, but it should have some halfway decent [[RandomMovement]] when it matters.

;How does the [[Melee|melee]] strategy differ from [[OneOnOne|one-on-one]] strategy?
:Just the radar lock...

;How does it select a target to attack/avoid in [[Melee|melee]]?
:A combination of a close target and one with low energy, with a bias towards the current target when evaluating new ones.

;What does it save between rounds and matches?
:[[GuessFactor Targeting]] stat buffers.

== Additional Information ==

;Where did you get the name?
:"Broken Sword" is the name of one of the awesome warriors in the movie [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hero_%282002_film%29 Hero].

;Can I use your code?
:Yes, it's in the .jar, released under the [[RWPCL]].

;What's next for your robot?
:Getting better :P

;Does it have any [[WhiteWhale]]s?
:I guess it hurts to lose to [[HawkOnFire]], because it's so awesome and also a [[MicroBot]].

;What other robot(s) is it based on?

* Directly based off of [[LuminariousDuo]], my [[TwinDuel]] team.
* Indirectly based off of [[HawkOnFire]], which affected some of my ideas about [[Minimum Risk Movement]] from reading about it on the [[MeleeStrategy/UnderstandingHawkOnFire|UnderstandingHawkOnFire]] page.
