Competitive JuniorRobot

I have been trying to make competitive Junior Robots. This the best 1 vs 1 bot I could make till now... package ne0n;

import robocode.*;

public class JuniorLinear extends JuniorRobot {

int moveAmount;

public void run() {

setColors(black, white, red, orange, purple);

moveAmount = Math.max(fieldWidth, fieldHeight);

turnTo(0);

while (true) {

bearGunTo(90);

ahead(moveAmount);

}

}

public void onHitWall() {

bearGunTo(90);

turnRight(90);

}

public void onHitByBullet() {

turnGunTo(hitByBulletAngle);

}

public void onHitRobot() {

if (scannedBearing > -90 && scannedBearing < 90)

back(100);

else

ahead(100);

}

public void onScannedRobot() {

double firepower = 3d-2d*((double)scannedDistance/(double)moveAmount);

double bulletVelocity = 20-3*firepower;

double offset = Math.toDegrees(Math.asin(scannedVelocity*Math.sin(Math.toRadians(scannedHeading-scannedAngle))/bulletVelocity));

turnGunTo((int)(scannedAngle + offset)); fire(firepower);

}

}

As the name suggests this uses simple trigonometric linear targeting. This has been able to beat all the Sample bots on 1 vs 1. But in melee Walls and SpinBot are beating me each time. I tried to implement some better movement and targeting strategies but couldn't get anything to work till now. Any help will be appreciated... cant figure out how to get
