What's special about it?

It uses log based stats (Dynamic Clustering, a la Tron's Gun) for both movement and targeting. Ok, that's not so special now, but it was slightly more special when it was released.
The discussions pages are probably more valuable than the bot itself ever was.

How competitive is it?: It was top-10 with its first version, but it never really improved much after that.

How does it move and/or dodge bullets?: Wave Surfing with Dynamic Clustering style data analysis.

How does it fire?: Uses Dynamic Clustering to find a commonly used GuessFactor among a bunch of similar previous situations.

What does it save between rounds and matches?: Everything between rounds, nothing between matches.

What other robot(s) is it based on?

It uses Dookious as a skeleton, with the data storage and analysis replaced to use Dynamic Clustering instead of traditional (Visit Count Stats) stats arrays.
I learned a lot from studying the source code of Chalk, by Corbos.
I also perused DCBot, by ABC.
Major credits to both ABC and Albert for posting detailed information about Dynamic Clustering and kernel density on the wiki.
