GrubbmThree

Background Information

What's special about it?: Frankly nothing, it just is one of the best rambots.

How does it move?: Ramming, it tries to intercept the opponent by following its own bullets. It reverses direction if it is more beneficial.

How does it fire?: Iterative circular gun with some protection to avoid shooting straight into the wall. The iteration stops at the outer hull of the opponent.

What's next for your robot?: Nothing. This old bot still is a problembot for many.

How competitive is it?: It outranked the best rambot at that time, NanoDeath, in march 2005. In feb 2006, Kev's MaxRisk came along and became the best rambot by a large margin. As MaxRisk retired (why??), currently it is on par with Jab's Sanguijuela.

This tank is completely based on free information available on this wiki.

- Stop iterating just outside hull, so a bit less overshooting. Probably the best version ?
