What's special about it?: It's my attempt at a semi-good WaveSurfing movement

Great, I want to try it. Where can I download it?: Currently, there isn't a download link

How competitive is it?: Against DustBunny 3.5, without shooting, does fairly well. The current results are:

1st	hackhalotwo.GravityWave	17933 (81%)	13050	4860	0	0	23	0	486	14	0
2nd	mld.DustBunny 3.5	4344 (19%)	700	140	3319	157	28	0	14	486	0

How does it move?: Using BasicSurfer as a base, and later on, using Anti-Grav for finer movements.

How does it dodge bullets?: The BasicSurfer detection algorithm (working on expanding it)

How does the melee strategy differ from One-on-one strategy?: Not sure, never tested it.

How does it select a target to attack/avoid in melee?: First one seen I guess

What does it save between rounds and matches?: It saves between rounds currently.

Where did you get the name?: GravityWave is basically a mix of WaveSurfing and Anti-Gravity.

Can I use your code?: It will be in GITS when a good stable version comes out

What other robot(s) is it based on?: Voidious's BasicSurfer(without my calcBullet() function)

1st	mld.DustBunny 3.5	21977 (62%)	5300	1060	14450	1132	35	0	106	394	0
2nd	hackhalotwo.GravityWave	13201 (38%)	9050	3940	0	0	210	1	394	106	0

-The tests above show how much of an improvement my little hack of a function is. It still needs some polishing (since it's broken up a bit for debugging and is kinda hacked together :) ), but it works as it should. Now, when fighting against DustBunny, it doesn't register the wall hits as bullet fires, which means that GravityWave doesn't think there is a bullet flying at him and turn into a real bullet. I'm now stuck between if I should start looking into coding in segmentation or Virtual Bullets...
