== Background Information ==

; What's special about it?
: Well I suppose that...
:* It likely has the strongest [[Melee]] targeting there is, as of Sept 2009
:* It's the only melee bot I know that tries to dodge HOT bullets besides [[Portia]]

; How competitive is it?
: Currently #4th in the melee rumble...

== Strategy ==

; How does it [[:Category:Movement|move]]?
: A form of [[Minimum Risk Movement]]. It has a bit of a unique point-choosing method, don't know if this does any good. It factors a "Will I hit an imaginary HOT-fired bullet on the way there?" danger into it's movement.

; How does it [[:Category:Targeting|fire]]?
: A DC-PIF gun named [[/Hypothermia|Hypothermia]], which is most closely related to [[Shadow/Melee Gun]] probably.

; How does it select a target to attack/avoid in [[melee]]?
: It doesn't pick on anyone in particular, it just goes for wherever looks likely to hit someone :)

; How does the [[Melee|melee]] strategy differ from [[One on One|one-on-one]] strategy?
: It doesn't differ currently.

; What does it save between rounds and matches?
: Nothing between matches. Between rounds, full movement logs of enemies and the kd-tree indexing that data.

== Additional Information ==

; Where did you get the name?
: It's development moved along somewhat slowly, and I decided I was in the mood for an icy theme.

; Can I use your code?
: It's under zlib licence so feel free, but I strongly encourage you to

; What's next for your robot?
: Taking the [[Melee]] throne of course.

; Does it have any [[White Whale|White Whales]]?
: Well [[Diamond]] is currently the biggest threat, but [[Portia]] and [[Shadow]] also need to be overcome...

; What other robot(s) is it based on?
: The code is mostly new, but here is a list of credits to other bots, both my own and otherwise:
:* [[MiniSurreptitious]] - The basis of the min-risk movement (which was [[HawkOnFire]]-inspired)
:* [[RougeDC]] - The MovementProfile class from RougeDC was adapted to work for a continuious circle.
:* [[User:Rednaxela/SaphireEdge|SaphireEdge]] - The bot framework was built around the time of SaphireEdge.
:* [[Shadow]] - For popularizing the idea of targeting everyone at once in melee.
:* [[Portia]] - For inspiring the current bullet-dodging behaviour.
:* [[HawkOnFire]] - The bulletPower formula currently in use is based on that used in HawkOnFire
