Background

26 year old computer guy; I periodically turn to RoboCode when I want to make sure I can still program.

Bots

SynapticBot

I submitted j.SynapticBot 2+ to the original rumble and while I wasn't ranked prominently, I think I was in the top quarter anyway.

SynapticBot used Antigravity Movement with randomly placed attraction points to keep it from getting stuck or holding still. It used a rolling average Guess Factor to pick where to shoot. It would close to ramming distance if its energy was significantly greater than the opponents.

Watermelon

My current bot is Watermelon.
