Background Information

What's special about it?
Seems to be the only bot in top 30 melee with Linear Targeting. Well, it switches ocasionly to a variant of Random Targeting when it lives long enough to face the last opponent.

As far as I know there is only one more bot (Griezel) in the top 30 with a simple guns like this.

Great, I want to try it. Where can I download it?
It is in official roborumble and melee listings, look for eem.EvBot there.
How competitive is it?
It hangs in Top 30 in the melee and at the bottom of 1/3 of 1 on 1. Starting from version 4.4.0 it has a circular gun as the default, which moved it to the Top 20. I still cannot beleive that it was enough to have just a linear gun to get to top 30 and to have just a circular to move even higher. My guns even do not do statistics/clustering on random targeting. They check though if circular or random has higher hit rate.
