== Background Information ==
; What's special about it?
: Fire is a [[Sample Bot]] that demonstrates bad [[Radar|target acquisition]], [[Head-On Targeting]], and abuse of event handlers. More specifically:
:* It does not move while firing.
:* It does not turn its gun and radar separately.
:* It acquires targets very slowly, because it turns its gun/radar at 5°/tick, instead of 65°/tick (the [[Robocode/Game Physics|maximum possible]] radar turn rate).
:* If its target happens to move counterclockwise, it will lose its lock.
:* If it is hit by a bullet, it will move and lose its lock.
: Of course, these flaws are intentional, and you are ''supposed'' to improve on this robot.

; How competitive is it?
: In [[MeleeRumble]], it is the 8th best sample bot (out of 13).

== Strategy ==
; How does it [[Movement|move]]?
: When hit, it turns perpendicular to the bullet and then moves 50 pixels forward or backwards (it alternates between the two options).

; How does it [[Targeting|fire]]?
: When it scans another robot, it fires a 1.0- or 3.0-power bullet (depending on distance), and tries lock its gun onto its opponent.

; How does it [[Dodging Bullets|dodge bullets]]?
: It doesn't.

; How does the [[melee]] strategy differ from [[one-on-one]] strategy?
: It loses its lock often, and this causes it to quickly switch between targets in melee.

; How does it select a target to attack/avoid in [[melee]]?
: No explicit target selection.

; What does it save between rounds and matches?
: Nothing and nothing.

== Additional Information ==
; Where did you get the name?
: It fires at enemies, and it has an orange-red color scheme.

; Can I use your code?
: Yes, it is released under the [http://robocode.sourceforge.net/license/epl-v10.html Eclipse Public License v1.0].
