Background Information

What's special about it?
My first "good" bot. (Meaning its code is not a huge mess)
As of version 1.82, each release is better than the last.
How competitive is it?
As of 3/26/2012 it is ranked 5th in the 1v1 general rumble.

Strategy

How does it move?
it calls setTurnRightRadians() and setAhead(). See Gilgalad/movementStrategy.
How does it fire?
it calls setFireBullet(). See Gilgalad/targetingStrategy.

credits

Thanks go to the following people (the list is in no way complete and will probably never be so) :

  • Voidious -- Wave Surfing tutorial, and various ides from Diamond.
  • Rednaxela -- Precise intersection and forcing me to improve my kD-tree ;).

Motto

"Strength in numbers."

   I realized that what I am basically doing now is trying to speed it up so it can process crunch more numbers each turn, so I thought this would make a good motto.

Additional Information

Can I use your code?
Yes, it is released under the FreeBSD license. (The source is in the jar file and the license should be at the top of each .java file)
What robots is it based on?
  • The code is, for the most part, my own, but I did get ideas from other robots. See the credits for details.
What's next for your robot?
for the immediate future:
  • bug hunting

I also plan to try LtL targeting and movement (secret), and Neural networks.
