- What's special about it?
- It's the only Micro Bot that I know of using Dynamic Clustering.
- Great, I want to try it. Where can I download it?
- http://robocoderepository.com/BotDetail.jsp?id=3753
- How competitive is it?
- It's decent, but not top-level.
Strategy
- How does it move?
- It uses what I call the MagicTrick; it moves at the minimum speed that it can go without being hit by HOT. If that fails, it uses a Random Movement based on MagicD2's
- How does it fire?
- It fires Waves, recording all the relevant information when the wave is launched. When the wave passes the enemy, It calculates the angle that would have hit and then puts the information into a log of enemy movements. When its time to fire, it looks through the log and tries to find the entry closest to the current situation using a k-nearest neighbor algorithm. For more information, see the Dynamic Clustering and Dynamic Clustering Tutorial pages.
- How does it dodge bullets?
- MagicTrick along with Random Movement.
- Is this robot Melee-capable?
- Nope.
- What does it save between rounds and matches?
- The enemy movement log.
Additional Information
- Where did you get the name?

- RWPCL
- What's next for your robot?
- I'm thinking about making the gun Multiple Choice if I can find the room.
