A MegaBot by Kawigi. The result of testing and research done through FloodMini, Teancum, and Barracuda. For more information, see /Hype and /OldHype (which is a pretty amusing page, as well as the /Profile page).
If you're wondering what has been added to it over time, check /VersionHistory
"Competitivity"
- version 0.7
- I think it's good. But *turns into the Reading Rainbow guy* don't take my word for it. You can also get the opinions on this subject from StatistRobot and FloodMini on the /Profile page.
- version 0.8
- Looking good. Much simpler, but I don't think it's any less 'elite', and the simplicity pays off against most of the bots I was previously having problems with. Of course, it doesn't pay off with others (I miss some of my old guns against some other robots). Version 0.8 has more dimensions, though -
- In OneOnOne, it is a potential top-10 robot in my book.
- In Melee, it is a potential top-20 robot and RO Pro League contender
- In Teams, it is close to even (maybe even slightly better) with Phalanx and DemoniacNimrods, loses pitifully against TroodonPack and SandboxDTTeam, but beats the other teams I've tried pretty strongly.
- Opens the EternalRumble at #9 in melee, and (drum roll please...) #2!!!! in 1-on-1! Woo-hoo! This makes me half a place below Tron overall I suppose. I actually beat SandboxDT by more than 1000 points total over the 100 rounds we fought, but I lost to Chameleon. I barely stayed over CigaretBH and FloodMini, and also lost to Gouldingi, GlowBlow, and Jekyl, and a by a little to some others over 10 rounds. We'll see if this all lasts. The first version of FloodHT caused Amarok some problems, so this was FloodHT's debut on the ER.
- Drops to #9 when the ER came back alive, behind the Cigarets, FloodMini, Chameleon, the new Marshmallow, and a couple excellent new bots.
- Also beats SandboxDT and opens second only to SandboxDT in the Robocode Outpost Pro 1-on-1 division, season 12. Meanwhile, it didn't qualify for the Pro melee division, but it won Semi-pro bracket 1 by a reasonable amount, glowing in the bullet damage and kill bonus categories, and being the last man standing 18 times. I'm a little surprised that HawkOnFire didn't place better, he looked like my toughest competition.

Etymology
It's name was thought up long ago, when I was trying to tweak out my test bot, SandboxFlattener's movement to give SandboxDT 1.61 a hard time. The HT part stands for "Hit This", I direct answer to SandboxDT's "Dodge This" challenge. The Flood name came from my thoughts on what would flatten out a lump in a sandbox better than anything. You got it. Water. That's what keeps the beach so flat.
