Background Information
- What's special about it?
Quantum uses antigravity movement based on the enemy's predicted future position (ie where we would aim) rather than their current location.
- How competitive is it?
Quantum briefly knocked DustBunny off of the nano melee throne before settling in to second place.

Strategy
- How does it move?
Quantum uses Anti-Gravity Movement based on DustBunny but instead of calculating forces based on the angle to the enemy's current position Quantum uses the angle it would fire at.
- How does it fire?
Quantum uses DustBunny's gun with customised energy management, it's more aggressive at the start of the round and more conservative by the time it reaches 1v1.
- How does it dodge bullets?
It doesn't.
- How does the melee strategy differ from One-on-one strategy?
Quantum assumes the battlefield is 1000x1000 so it can only fight in melee. This restriction could be removed if I gave up colours but it wouldn't be very competitive if I did.
- How does it select a target to attack/avoid in melee?
It attacks the closest target while trying to avoid everybody.
- What does it save between rounds and matches?
Nothing.
Additional Information
- Where did you get the name?
I wanted a gravity themed name with small vibes and Graviton was already taken.
- Can I use your code?
Yes, under the terms of the RWPCL. The code can be found in the .jar and at Quantum/Source.
- What's next for your robot?
I have 7 bytes to spare but I'm yet to find a way of using them that has much of an impact.
- Does it have any White Whales?
- What other robot(s) is it based on?
DustBunny with tweaked movement and energy management. It has been shrunk considerably to make room for Infinity style target tracking (and colours).
