Basilite

Background Information

What's special about it?

It's my first microbot, and it uses non-repeating random movement (it remembers where it last reversed, and doesn't reverse there in the future)

How competitive is it?

Currently #5 in the MicroRumble!

How does it move?

Basilite starts out with Stop And Go, but if it gets hit often, it will switch over to Random Movement.

How does it fire?

Basilite uses Symbolic Pattern Matching!

How does it dodge bullets?

Stop and go dodges HOT and Linear Targeting, an Random Movement dodges the rest =)

How does the melee strategy differ from one-on-one strategy?

It doesn't have a melee strategy :P

Where did you get the name?

I wanted to give my other robot, Basilisk, a baby brother! It's a "Lite" version of Basilisk =)

Can I use your code?

Sure! The code is in the .jar file. It's licensed under the RWPCL.

What's next for your robot?

I need to improve the gun a lot to deal with the top microbots.

Luckily, I have ~75 bytes left, so plenty of space to add something cool!

Does it have any White Whales?

Cotillion, EpeeistMicro, HedgehogGF, Thorn.

What other robot(s) is it based on?
