What's next for your robot?
Make defeat impossible, and do not miss the moment for defeating the enemy —
  1. Split the current gun into a general purpose gun & an Anti-Surfer Gun
  2. Tune the movement against some GF bots, as well as the top bots.
  3. Try some flattener, agaaaain
What other robot(s) is it based on?
It inherits ShieldBot's structure while using the gun and movement (actually, only the trees) from SimpleBot. It, however, evolved a lot since then.
