Hey there - welcome to the wiki. =)

At present, we have our roborumble server (Darkcanuck/RRServer) setup to only accept results from Robocode clients of versions 1.5.4, 1.6.0 and 1.6.1.4. We do this because sometimes, changes to Robocode have had some (small but measurable) effect on the scoring, and we want to disallow those old versions and test new ones before allowing them. On my RR client (1.6.1.4), your bot is throwing this error a lot, because it's a new method in Robocode that doesn't exist in 1.6.1.4:

bzdp.BoxCar 1.0: Throwable: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 
    robocode.util.Utils.normalAbsoluteAngleDegrees(D)D

You can use Math.toDegrees(Utils.normalAbsoluteAngle(...)) to replace this for now. I'm sorry your first entry into the RoboRumble hit a hiccup, but it should be an easy fix. Good luck with your bots!

Thanks! I was wondering why my bot was doing so badly!
