I submitted j.SynapticBot 2+ to the original rumble in the beginner class. It reached the semi-finals [1], where it was bested by Ares, the Beginner class winner. Overall, it ranked 5th in the Beginner class.

SynapticBot used Anti-Gravity Movement with randomly placed attraction points to keep it from getting stuck or holding still. It used a slowly changing scalar to pick where to shoot between Head on Targeting and Linear Targeting. It would close to ramming distance if its energy was significantly greater than the opponents.
