Backstory

The Seraphim, the highest order of angels. This mechanical monster was cast from the heavens after slaughtering far to many in the great war between heaven in hell. Now seeking the way back to the very top.

Strange Licensing

For the most part Seraphim has always been Proprietary, meaning its source is undisclosed. Due to this however I misplaced the code to my most successful versions, having the robot slowly die as a result. Later after a few failed attempts at salvaging the robot, I released the source code for version 0.071 to the robocode community.

After I relocated the source code to v0.052, my best version, I decided not to release its source, so that means that the robot may take a split route. However dispite regaining the source, very little work has been preformed since early 2007.

Future

Plans are on going to get Seraphim into the 2000 Club. I have a rebuild in the works, I doupt I will finish it, or if I do finish it if it will use the same type of movement and targeting. If it doesn't it will be put under a different name.
