Talk:MagicD2

Hi, good luck for your future nanobots! I read about my bot Assertive. :) I'd recommend you Mosquito 1.1, because Assertive is highly vulnerable against head-on targeting, so as soon as you switch to linear gun, you won't get half of the points scored by head-on. I worked much on Mosquito's movement, and it's 22nd with a single linear gun. I think it's much better as a testbot than Assertive. --HUNRobar 21:43, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Hey, MagicD2 is his first bot. I don't think testing with good bot is good ideas. I know I can't write this because I test my nano with Shadow! But, for simple head-on, testing on bot that you know you can't hit it isn't good ideas, anyway. » Nat | Talk » 01:57, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I've downloaded a variety of bots now. Just wondering, would it be better to download problembots and see why those beat it, or bots that it scores about 50% against and see how it can improve against those?--CrazyBassoonist 13:31, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

That is, a challenge of roborumble. While trying to remove problembots, you need to keep your ranking to other robots the same! But, for nanobot, I don't think this is good idea since there are very little room of improvement. Don't care problembots :) Just try one that you score 40% or less. I've realize all of this with my Ocnirp improvement. I've once add distance keeper that make it score good agaist RaikoNano, but my rank was dropped by 8 ranks! Good luck with your bots! » Nat | Talk » 14:09, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
