Background Information

What's special about it?

It's a Twinduel team that I did in replacement of EagleTwins because of code size.

How competitive is it?

As of October 1st 2013, it's not in the rumble yet. But it got 70% on EagleTwins with 900 less bytes used. It also got about 70% on TwoProphets, a bottom team. But it only got 45% on LunarTwins. Maybe thats okay because the LunarTwins APS is around 70 meaning the average bot scored about 30.

Strategy

How does it move?

Jupiter uses random wall movement from RandomMovementBot.

Hades uses random circling movement. If Math.random() goes below a certain number, or if it hits a wall, It will reverse direction.

How does it fire?

Both of them use simple circular targeting.

How does it dodge bullets?

They don't intentionally. Hopefully that random movement will throw off HOT, Linear, Circular, and GF bullets.

How does it select a target to attack/avoid?

There is actually no target selection except for the fact that they lock on to the bot they scan first. Maybe I should get some, but I'm not so sure how since I'm just a beginner to TwinDuel and RoboCode itself.

What does it save between rounds and matches?

nothing.

Additional Information

Where did you get the name?

Olympus is the home of the gods that rule the world. I wanted OlympusTwins to dominate TwinDuel.

Can I use your code?

Sure. It's under RWLPCL.

What's next for your robot?

Probably some decent target selection and wall smoothing for Hades.

Does it have any White Whales?

NightAndDay. I just hate that team. Their random minimum risk movement always gets me.

What other robot(s) is it based on?

For Jupiter, the movement is all unmodified from RandomMovementBot. Hades is not based off any other bot.
