- What's next for your robot?
- Make defeat impossible, and do not miss the moment for defeating the enemy —
- Split the current gun into a general purpose gun & an Anti-Surfer Gun
- Tune the movement against some GF bots, as well as the top bots.
- Try some flattener, agaaaain
- What other robot(s) is it based on?
- It inherits ShieldBot's structure while using the gun and movement (actually, only the trees) from SimpleBot. It, however, evolved a lot since then.
- Although no code directly, its evolvement is inspired by a lot of bots, including DrussGT, Diamond, Tomcat, Nene and more on this wiki.
- Credits give to
- Skilgannon, for his DrussGT gun, which influenced me a lot, and for his wise advice to me.
- Voidious, for his Diamond gun, which is extremely strong, pushing me to work on movement more and more. Some gun attributes are also inspired by Diamond.
- Jdev, for his Tomcat movement, which is pretty unique, and its data analysis inspired me a lot as well.
- Chase, for his Nene, which told me that a flattener or an Anti-Surfer Gun is not essential. Its movement inspired me a lot as well.
- Jamougha, for his RaikoMicro, strong GuessFactor Gun with strong Random Movement, which is my favorite bot to test with ;).
