What's special about it?
It's my attempt at a semi-good Wave Surfing movement
Great, I want to try it. Where can I download it?
Currently, there isn't a download link
How competitive is it?
Against DustBunny 3.8, without shooting, does fairly well. The current results are:
1st	hackhalotwo.GravityWave	18004 (73%)	13050	4950	0	0	4	0	495	5	0
2nd	mld.DustBunny 3.8	6612 (27%)	250	50	6269	40	2	0	5	495	0


The tests I do are here.

Strategy

How does it move?
Using BasicSurfer as a base, and later on, using Anti-Grav for finer movements.
How does it fire?
It's a non-firing robot
How does it dodge bullets?
The BasicSurfer detection algorithm (working on expanding it)
How does the melee strategy differ from One-on-one strategy?
Not sure, never tested it.
How does it select a target to attack/avoid in melee?
First one seen I guess
What does it save between rounds and matches?
It saves between rounds currently.

Additional Information

Where did you get the name?
GravityWave is basically a mix of WaveSurfing and Anti-Gravity.
Can I use your code?
It will be in GITS when a good stable version comes out
What's next for your robot?
work on fixing and perfecting the movement
Does it have any White Whales?
Not currently
What other robot(s) is it based on?
Voidious's BasicSurfer

What I'm Working On

Bin Smoothing
I'm working on implementing a Bin Smoothing function that runs every x ticks to reduce or hinder small spikes. I'm thinking every 200 ticks will be enough.
