Additional Information

Where did you get the name?

From a book named "White Fang".

Yes, you can.

What's next for your robot?

Better Bullet Shadow Calculations

A better gun.(It hasn't been changed since the first version)

Precise MEA for both gun and movement

Maybe a pre-trained movement or gun to use in the first ticks of the battle

Does it have any White Whales?

It has unusually low scores against AdvancedEFD and Shadow always beats me by a little margin.

What other robot(s) is it based on?

It is not based on any other robot except my standard code base. Thanks to Beaming and Skilgannon for helping me to getting into the competition and for the TUR flag(Skilgannon).
