Yeah, I thought of something like that, so I used some stupid fallback movement. What I thought was, instead of using a simple fallback movement, to test all three surfing options and pick the one that puts me in a better position to surf a wave fired X ticks later, where X is the no. of ticks 'til the enemy's gun is cool. The thing is that I don't know where the wave will be fired from. I would have to estimate it, and maybe I would have to estimate it after every tick. My robot is probably slow enough already. Additionally, I thought it was not worth it. Good to know it may work against rammers. My fallback movement oftenly puts me in a bad position.
