Background Information

What's special about it?
  • Best defending bot under the Japanese flag (strangely enough!)
  • It uses Heat Waves like RougeDC and DrussGT.
  • It uses Passive Bullet Shadowing.
  • It's structure is more like a tower then most robots branching tree.
  • It's version is currently longer then its name!
  • It is an interface based robot!
  • It doesn't use any virtual guns!
How competitive is it?
It's movement was top tier at the time it was developed. On par with an earlier version of DrussGT.
The gun still needs some work.

Strategy

How does it move?
Uses precise intersection wave surfing. It also does some nice minimal risk that avoids getting trapped in corners when there are no waves around, also makes it do well against rambots.
How does it fire?
It uses a normal DC/GF gun. Very simple overall, it just have carefully tuned weights.
How does it dodge bullets?
It surfs!
How does the melee strategy differ from one-on-one strategy?
It doesn't know anything about melee (not even radar!)
How does it select a target to attack/avoid in melee ?
It has melee?
What does it save between rounds and matches?
Between matches: Nothing.
Between rounds: KdTree movement data. KdTree firing data.

Additional Information

Where did you get the name?
It was actually named after a character in a story I was writing at the time. A very happy positive somewhat hyper girl. I never actually expected to release it.
Can I use your code?
Sure thing you can use my code. Sure, feel free it is released entirely under the ZLIB license.
What's next for your robot?
I might tweak the gun a little more if it bombs.
Does it have any White Whales?
Bullet shielders will likely give it problems. Since it has no logic to handle them.
Strong surfers of course will destroy it, as its gun is much weaker against those then against other robots.
What other robot(s) is it based on?
Seraphim for it's precise prediction originally. I have read many other robots and I gained some insights from DrussGT and Diamond. But I don't use any of their code directly. Mostly learned from descriptions on the wiki. I do use Rednaxela's KdTree however.
