== Background Information ==

; Bot Name
: Claudius

; Author
: [[User:CrazyBassoonist|CrazyBassoonist]]

; Extends
: [[AdvancedRobot]]

; What's special about it?
: It's my first robot after a 9 year break!

; Great, I want to try it. Where can I download it?'''
: https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1JJXM_mgPwxKVK0WDNpf92VUaMABv8bYl

; How competitive is it?
: Currently top 10 in the microrumble. Watch out! This is a very early version and it contains over 100 bytes worth of color changing code.

== Strategy ==
; What is its basic strategy?
: Like its little brother [[Caligula]], Claudius focuses on beating the very exploitable bots by as large a margin as possible at the expense of its matchup against stronger bots.

; How does it move?
: It has three movement modes. First it tries orbiting the opponent at full speed, then reversing direction on bullet fire, and if all else fails random movement.

; How does it fire?
: It uses a nano-sized symbolic pattern matcher.

; How does it dodge bullets?
: Claudius has what i suspect is one of the better bullet-dodging schemes in the micro division. It even simulates enemy gunheat to avoid being fooled by wall collisions.

; Is this robot melee-capable?
: Not in the slightest.

; What does it save between rounds and matches?
: The only relevant information that it saves between rounds is the targeting log for its gun and which movement mode to use. It saves nothing between matches.

== Additional Information ==

; Where did you get the name?
: Claudius was the next emperor after [[Caligula]].

; Can I use your code?
: [[RWPCL]]

; What's next for your robot?

Lots of minor tweaking. The first version was written in an afternoon and went through very little refinement. Later on, I may try and upgrade the gun since there is quite a bit of codesize to spare.

; Does it have any [[White Whale]]s?
: It's relatively weak gun means that it does poorly against bots strong enough to hit its first two movements and force it to move randomly.

+: It uses the nano-sized symbolic pattern matcher popularized by [[WeekendObsession]], but with some major improvements for a pretty small codesize increase. Claudius matches on lateral velocity and advancing velocity and uses more accurate prediction to avoid shooting into walls.
