== Background Information ==

Paul's most recent description (circa 2004) read: "SandboxDT by [[Paul Evans]] is the evolution of [[SandboxLump]], which had a superb record in the IBM [[RobocodeRumble]]. DT is usually the top bot in every contest anyone has thought up (from time to time somone comes up with a new strategy - but DT usually catches up). It supports [[One-on-one|1-v-1]], [[Melee]], and [[Teams|Team]] battles, and in addition it always attempts to out-survive its enemies, This is THE bot to beat."

; What's special about it?
: From roughly 2002 to sometime in 2004, it was the top [[one on one]], [[melee]], and [[teams]] bot. Saying "top bot" is perhaps an understatement: it was unrivaled for much of that time, and set the bar very high for other Robocoders.

; How competitive is it?
: It is currently in the top 50 in General 1v1 rating, top 25 General 1v1 [[Premier League]], and top 10 in Melee. It has not been updated since March, 2004.

== Strategy ==

; How does it [[Movement|move]]?

: It attempts to visit all [[GuessFactor|GuessFactors]] evenly, creating a flat [[movement profile]] that [[:Category:Advanced Targeting Strategies|advanced guns]] have difficulty hitting.

; How does it fire?

: It uses [[GuessFactor Targeting (traditional)|GuessFactor Targeting]].
