Additional Information

Where did you get the name?

Eye in latin.

Why did you make this bot?

SimpleBot was really close to pass ColdBreath and ColdBreath was a bit too messy to improve.

ColdBreath used too much data for both gun and movement. In this bot I will be able to improve it by just adding some data.

I didn't use any precise or multi-surfing stuff so I have a lot of ideas for the next updates.

In ColdBreath I could just hardcode things. Oculus is much cleaner.

Can I use your code?

Of course everybody can use it. The code is very clear.

What's next for your robot?

Passing SimpleBot.

Beating Roborio.

Making my movement as strong as my gun.

Being sure what element of the robot is the strongest.(Of course the radar=))

Any Reached Goals?

Finally beaten SimpleBot

Passed ColdBreath

Does it have any White Whales?

Every bot I make does really bad against Tron.

What other robot(s) is it based on?

None
