Background Information

What's special about it?

It fits decent wave surfing in a micro bot.

How competitive is it?

It is vying for 1st in the micro rumble in terms of APS, although it loses to top micro bots pretty badly 1v1.

Strategy

How does it move?

Very simple WaveSurfing, segmented on velocity.

How does it fire?

It uses a nano-sized pattern matching gun augmented with wall features.

How does it dodge bullets?

Surfing

How does the melee strategy differ from one-on-one strategy?

There isn't a melee strategy.

What does it save between rounds and matches?

Surfing and pattern matching data between rounds, nothing between matches.

Additional Information

Where did you get the name?

It (sort of) surfs like WaveSerpent, hence WaveShark.

Can I use your code?

Sure, it's released under the terms of the RWPCL.

What's next for your robot?

I'm not sure! The gun is a weak point, but it's hard to find code size to make it better.

What other robot(s) is it based on?

The gun is adapted from WeekendObsession
