Additional Information

Can I use your code?

Not at the moment.

What robots is it based on?

• The code is, for the most part, my own, but I did get ideas from other robots. See the credits for details.

What's next for your robot?

tweak, try various ideas, tweak, release, ...

for the immediate future:

• optimize
• surf two waves
• tweak gun

I also plan to try LtL targeting and movement (secret), and Neural networks.
