Background Information

What's special about it?
It's my first decent melee bot. Also, it's my first bot that doesn't have a Star Wars themed name ;)
Great, I want to try it. Where can I download it?
      Current version:   1.10
      Best version:   1.02
How competitive is it?
It should do OK, it was competing decently with (but not quite winning against) some of the top melee MiniBots.

Strategy

How does it dodge bullets?
It doesn't really, but it should have some halfway decent RandomMovement when it matters.
How does the melee strategy differ from one-on-one strategy?
Just the radar lock...
How does it select a target to attack/avoid in melee?
A combination of a close target and one with low energy, with a bias towards the current target when evaluating new ones.
What does it save between rounds and matches?
GuessFactor Targeting stat buffers.

Additional Information

Where did you get the name?
"Broken Sword" is the name of one of the awesome warriors in the movie Hero.
Can I use your code?
Yes, it's in the .jar, released under the RWPCL.
What's next for your robot?
Getting better :P
Does it have any WhiteWhales?
I guess it hurts to lose to HawkOnFire, because it's so awesome and also a MicroBot.
What other robot(s) is it based on?
