Musashi Trick
The Musashi Trick means circling around the opponent (turning perpendicular to it and moving forward continuously). If the opponent robot uses Head-On Targeting, its shots will simply pass behind you, allowing you to achieve high scores against them.
Proper implementations of the Musashi Trick involve Wall Smoothing, Distancing, and choosing when to reverse direction. Without such techniques, your bot may become stuck or bash itself around corners, resulting in a quick death.
The Musashi Trick was invented by Axe, with his robot Musashi.
