It chooses a random distance, and then changes that distance when it gets hit. It works pretty well because it changes the movement whenever the enemy learns about it, and if it finds something that works it can stick with it for a while. I spent a fair amount of time working on this movement and I tried adding stuff like velocity, direction, and turn changes but I found that all of those things made it worse.

It uses pretty decent random movement. It also fits in wallsmoothing.

It uses what I call assumed velocity targeting, although it's not really worthy of a name. In this robot's case that means that it plugs in speeds into a linear targeter until it finds one that works. If it dies, it changes the assumed speed.

It uses reduced linear targeting and then adds a random number between -0.3 and 0.3 to that.

What's special about it?

It's my first robot.

Great, I want to try it. Where can I download it?

robocoderepository.com

How competitive is it?

Not very. It's around the middle of the nanobots in ranking.

Strategy

How does it move?

It uses pretty decent random movement. It also fits in wallsmoothing.

How does it fire?

It uses reduced linear targeting and then adds a random number between -0.3 and 0.3 to that.

How does it dodge bullets?

See "How does it move?"

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

It's just a one-on-one bot

How does it select a target to attack/avoid in melee?

It doesn't.

What does it save between rounds and matches?

Nothing besides the constants, if that really counts.

Additional Information

Where did you get the name?

It was the first robot I ever made, although it is now a completely different robot just with the same name.

Can I use your code?

Knock yourself out. But don't expect anything special.

What's next for your robot?

Testing. Then probably more testing.

Does it have any White Whales?

WeekendObsession. It was one of my testbots for it, and MagicD2 can usually beat it.

What other robot(s) is it based on?

MagicD2?
