What's special about it?: It features one of my new developments, the Adapting Oscillator Movement.; NanoRumble stats (13 June 2009): 3rd general, 3rd Survival, 5th PL.; Interesting: The 1.3 was published on 13th May and 1.4 on 14th :D

Great, I want to try it. Where can I download it?: 1.2 : http://hunrobar.freeblog.hu/files/myrobots/robar.nano.Pugio_1.2.jar; 1.3 : http://www.robocoderepository.com/BotFiles/3604/robar.nano.Pugio_1.3.jar; 1.4 : http://www.robocoderepository.com/BotFiles/3606/robar.nano.Pugio_1.4.jar; 1.47 : http://invitel.hu/artrog/robar.nano.Pugio_1.47.jar; 1.49 : http://www.robocoderepository.com/BotFiles/3710/robar.nano.Pugio_1.49.jar

How competitive is it?: Very. 4th at the moment. //1.49 gained 0.5% APS, 1% Survival and 6 PL over 1.47.

How does it dodge bullets?: It adjusts its oscillating frequency as long as it loses. When enemy fires, it moves; and adjusts its velocity according to its frequency.

How does the melee strategy differ from One-on-one strategy?: It's only a one-on-one bot.

What does it save between rounds and matches?: It saves the lateral velocity log for the SymbolicPatternMatching gun. (between rounds, of course)

Where did you get the name?: I love the culture of the ancient Rome, so I chose a little and dangerous weapon from that times. ;)

What's next for your robot?: I should develop the movement against other PM bots.

Does it have any White Whales?: NeophytePattern, Moebius, LittleBlackBook.. ;)
