Strategy

How does it move?
Adapting Oscillator Movement, article soon.
How does it fire?
SymbolicPatternMatching.
How does it dodge bullets?
It doesn't, but it adapts itself as far as it dies.
How does the melee strategy differ from One-on-one strategy?
It's only a one-on-one bot.
What does it save between rounds and matches?
It saves the lateral velocity log for the SymbolicPatternMatching gun. (between rounds, of course)

Additional Information

Where did you get the name?
I love the culture of the ancient Rome, so I chose a little and dangerous weapon from that times. ;)
Can I use your code?
RWPCL
What's next for your robot?
Maybe I should develop the movement against other PM bots, but to be honest, I'm working on many other bots that have higher priority than this.
Does it have any White Whales?
There isn't any, but important test bots were Nanolaulectrik, Splinter, AceSurf, Assertive, Acero, NanoAndrew, NanoDeath etc...
What other robot(s) is it based on?
It has Assertive's gun with some small codesize-reductions.
