MicroMelee king

Thanks mate. I guess wallabys are very small, so they can easily be overseen :).

Yes i have some MeleeBots (mini,mega) in development and i hope i can release one of them soon. Right now i'm more concentrated on my TwinTeam. Technically is wallaby finished, but while working on my other bots i get some new ideas every once in a while and look how it works. The really burden is, that i have around 30 bytes left to play with (if stripped of all the minor tweaks) and i can not give up to find something that would use this 30 bytes well (in terms of APS gain).

I'm definitely intended to "scare" you :)

By the way, after an evening of mucking with BrokenSword yesterday, having pretty good success and ending up at #40 in General MeleeRumble... I have to say that you getting a MicroBot to #15 among MegaBots is totally amazing! I think LittleBlackBook is about the only other bot that is so strong outside his weight class, and he's, well, "special". =)

Well, the sad thing is that i still think it is an average bot. My gut always tells me that i'm doing some things totally wrong (in mathematical terms). I would say i have a quite good feeling about the overall dynamics of melee battles but the lack of mathematical knowledge holds me more back than i would admit. If i look at the simple (naive) average velocity calculation i could bang my head constantly on the table. But so far every more sophisticated approach failed horribly. I think it is just a matter of time to recover my somewhat rusty math skills and hopefully it will be end up in a good challenge for you and all the other top RoboCoder. I thought i could release a MegaBot soon but have to admit that without a appropriate 1vs1 strategy it would be not good at all.

Anyway thanks for the nice words and take care.
