What's special about it?
It is my first released bot to use wavesurfing and guess-factor targeting. Also my first bot to make it in the top 100 75 50 25.
Great, I want to try it. Where can I download it?

Strategy

How does it move?
Wave Surfing, tracking guess factors with DynamicClustering.
How does it fire?
GuessFactor Targeting, tracking guess factors with DynamicClustering.
How does the melee strategy differ from the one-on-one strategy?
It used to have some melee strategy involving MinimumRiskMovement, but it is now nonfunctional in melee.
What does it save between rounds and matches?
Between rounds, the surfing and targeting data. Between matches, nothing, but I would like to add some data-saving features in the future.

Additional Information

Where did you get the name?
The same way as all of my other bots: it just sounds cool.
Can I use your code?
Absolutely.
What's next for your robot?
Data saving between battles.
What other robot(s) is it based on?
The original code was from BasicSurfer and GFTargetingBot, but I have borrowed innumerable code snippets from many authors since then.
