I really had no idea what to expect for scores, but I'm quite happy with some of these results. Nice performances vs cx.* bots, including beating BlackSwans and Nimrod. My favorite wins are PrairieWolf and TheArtOfWar!

There's a lot of room to improve the movement, which is really hard without storing state. I use a combination of getTime() and getEnergy() to randomize orbit direction in a way that won't thrash. Even that feels a little dirty, but not nearly as much as moving to a random point and knowing when to move to a new one by checking getDistanceRemaining(), as many "perceptual" bots do.
