What's special about it?
A string based, Guess Factor bot with 3 different movement types. Does not learn - all factors are predefined in the file.
How competitive is it?
#1 in 1v1 ranking. Woo hoo!

Strategy

How does it move?
From studies of its opponents (offline), it either goes mostly forward, back and forth, or random.
How does it fire?
String based Guess Factor segmented by distance and a little lateral velocity.
How does it dodge bullets?
Watches enemy power levels and moves when it changes at all.
How does the melee strategy differ from one-on-one strategy?
No melee strategy, but it would probably be ok.
What does it save between rounds and matches?
Nothing.

Additional Information

Where did you get the name?
It has a little black book on every bot it competes against.
Can I use your code?
Go for it, though give credit as this is a new concept that has yet to be fully fleshed out by me.
What's next for your robot?
Either improved dodging or some sort of averaging of velocities. Add all other rumble bots for improvements outside of the nano land.
Does it have any White Whales?
Any perfect dodge stop and go will kill it. Decent wave surfers will also destroy it.
What other robot(s) is it based on?
Some Moebius movement code, but mostly unique ideas here.

Current Ranks

Too Early for this yet - though it's #1 in nano after all pairing complete by 0.02%.
