Background Information

What's special about it?
It's the first bot I made featuring Wave Surfing and GuessFactor Targeting and was my ticket to The2000Club. It has nothing special to defend itself against the top-bots, while the movement is tuned against simple targeters. It uses Precise Intersection (gun only), so it does not use binsmoothing.
It is the best Dutch bot.
Where did you get the name?
It is my translation of the combination Guess and Surfer. All my bots start with 'Gr' and 'sufferd' is someone like Disney's Goofy.

Strategy

How does it move?
It uses Wave Surfing, currently segmented on absolute velocity and on wallproximity.
How does it fire?
It uses GuessFactor Targeting, segmented on 'time since velocity change', distance, wallproximity and 'distance last 14 ticks'. The latest versions use Precise Intersection and simulated precise MEA. It has a second gun with exact the same configuration, only the stats are decaying over time.
What's next for your robot?
The gun is nearly done, some segmentation tryouts and close-combat (rambot) issues remain. The movement will need a complete overhaul, it has not changed in the last 2 years and it is relatively weak. First step to improve is to make some debuggraphics that are useful.
