This came up in another thread recently, but I'd say good/readable code vs good performance is a false dichotomy. I think it's more good code vs "I'm addicted to Robocode and just want to cram in this latest feature right now instead of taking a few minutes to refactor anything, and I'm the only one working with this code anyway so who cares." =) Most of the CPU time in top bots is in the trig for precise prediction and the targeting algorithm. Whether you have good or messy code in the rest of your bot doesn't have much relative impact on performance.
Dooki's code is pretty good, but I haven't looked at it in a while. I'm quite happy with the state of Diamond's code after the latest huge refactor. Chalk's code is pretty clean, and there are some open source newcomers in the top 25 that I've never really looked at.
