Background Information

What's special about it?
Frankly nothing, it just is one of the best rambots.
Where did you get the name?
Surprise: it is my third bot.

Strategy

How does it move?
Ramming, it tries to intercept the opponent by following its own bullets. It reverses direction if it is more beneficial.
How does it fire?
Iterative circular gun with some protection to avoid shooting straight into the wall. The iteration stops at the outer hull of the opponent.
How does it dodge bullets?
It eats bullets for breakfast.
What's next for your robot?
Nothing. This old bot still is a problembot for many.
How competitive is it?
It outranked the best rambot at that time, NanoDeath, in march 2005. In feb 2006, Kev's MaxRisk came along and became the best rambot by a large margin. Currently it is on par with Jab's Sanguijuela in second place. In the Rambot Challenge 2K6 it disappoints a bit with 5th place.

  • 0.9 The original since 2006
  • 0.9a 2017-09-06
    • RoboRumble ‒ APS: 55.78% (463rd), PL: 652-500 (474th), Survival: 51.16%
    • At the beginning of each round, turn radar the shortest way towards the center of the field.
    • Slightly better in micro and mini (Survival) but worse in roborumble
  • 0.9b 2017-09-07
    • RoboRumble ‒ APS: 55.76% (463rd), PL: 636-520 (493rd), Survival: 50.64%
    • Hit the brakes when sharp turn is needed (so less switching direction)
    • Seems that switching directions is more beneficial than keep chasing
  • 0.9c 2017-09-09
    • RoboRumble ‒ APS: 55.51% (470th), PL: 643-513 (488th), Survival: 50.78%
    • Stop iterating just outside hull, so a bit less overshooting. Probably the best version ?
    • only better against the few I tested, against the others . . . not
  • 0.9d 2017-09-09
    • RoboRumble ‒ APS: 56.15% (460th), PL: 680-477 (442nd), Survival: 52.41%
    • Introduce a 'wobble' (see behaviour of MaxRisk) when going rather straight
    • better overall especially PL and Survival, but against the really good ram-avoiders it is worse, sigh
