== Background Information ==
; What's special about it?
: It doesn't use [[Virtual Bullets]]. It's a [[MiniBot]]. Which is special because I thought I'd never write one. As a MiniBot it doesn't use any UglyCode tricks to shrink the [[Code Size|code size]]. I've decided to trade functionality for size instead. I think some of the mini-code experts could shrink the current Gouldingi to [[MicroBot]] size and maybe even [[NanoBot]].

; How competitive is it?
:
:* It's among the top 10 MiniBots in most [[Minibot Challenge]] runs.
:* Used to be a top 10 [[Eternal Rumble]] bot, but as the competition has tightened it is now fighting to defend a top-20 position.
:* With the new [[Tityus]] movement it ''should'' get more competetive. Though I have been wrong about many of my "improvements" of the past...

== Strategy ==
; How does it [[Movement|move]]?
: Same [[Random Movement]] as [[Tityus]]. Trying desperately to create a flat [[Movement Profile]].

; How does it [[:Category:Targeting|fire]]?
:
:* [[Angular Targeting/Factored]]
:* [[Averaged Bearing Offset Targeting]]

; How does it [[Dodging Bullets|dodge bullets]]?
: It doesn't.
:* Isn't the whole point of RandomMovement to dodge bullets? -- [[Tango]]
:* A big part of the point of moving at all is dodging bullets. =) I mean it doesn't try to see when the enemy is firing and then dodge. It just keeps moving randomly. -- [[PEZ]]
:* It doesn't *actively* dodge then. It just dodges automaticaly as a consequence of it's movement. Fair enough. :-) -- [[Tango]]

; How does the [[melee]] strategy differ from [[One on One|one-on-one]] strategy?
: This is strictly a One on One bot.

; What does it save between rounds and matches?
: Between rounds it saves it's targeting factor. Between matches it saves nothing.

== Additional Information ==

; Where did you get the name?
: It's a hard-to-catch piranha. (For anyone interested all my bots are named after [[PEZ/ScaryCreatures|scary creatures]].)

; Can I use your code?
: That of an older version yes, provided your bot is provided with OpenSource as well: [[/Code]]. The current version needs the secrecy to keep competetive.

; What's next for your robot?
: A real gun.

; What other robot(s) is it based on?
: [[Mako]] - Since I want Mako to be unrestricted size-wise I decided to make the mini attempt it's own bot. I also use [[Paul Evans]]' [[Rolling Averages|rolling averages]] function. Thank you Paul for sharing it!
