Background Information

What's special about it?

It is a minibot using Wave Surfing and GuessFactor Targeting, so nothing really special.

Where did you get the name?

All my bots start with 'Gr' and I like the dark sound of it. In English is just means 'grim'.

Strategy

How does it move?

Currently Stop and Go and a double oscillator. In the future it will use VCS Wave Surfing.

How does it fire?

It uses VCS GuessFactor Targeting, probably only segmented on 'time since velocity change', absolute lateral velocity and distance. Future wallproximity if there is enough room.

Does it have any WhiteWhales?

not known yet, but I think that it is relatively weak against good bots (like GresSuffurd is too).

What's next for your robot?

Some tuning of the gun, and then the big step: Wave Surfing.

What's your goal?

I want to reach at least 80 APS and then going for top-10 in the mini ranking. Hopefully it can threaten Komarious some day.

Credits

The first version is merely my microbot Grinnik with some updates to the gun and a few common fixes/improvements. When that is done, a very simplified GresSuffurd movement is added. This means that all information used can be found on this wiki. All can be followed back to Kawigi's GuessFactorTargeting Tutorial and Voidious' Wave_Surfing_Tutorial.
