What's special about it?
Nothing. Really? Since you asked —

Strategy

How does it move?
kNN Wave Surfing
How does it fire?
GuessFactor with Conditional Density Estimation via kNN
What does it save between rounds and matches?
Everything between rounds, nothing between matches

Additional Information

Where did you get the name?
Scalar replacement, when I was reading Escape analysis.
Scalar used to mean fast, strict and precise. But being strict and precise doesn't necessarily make it accurate.
Thus it now means — fast, precise, adaptive and accurate.
Can I use your code?
Not yet ;). But what it's mostly based on has already been made open source.
What's next for your robot?
Make it fast, make it precise, make it adaptive and make it accurate —
  • Optimize precise prediction related code harder
  • Take bot width into account in precise mea calculation (for accurate gun score)
  • Tune movement against different kinds of targeting strategy (for better hit rate classifier)
  • And then choose countermeasure accurately
What other robot(s) is it based on?
It inherits ShieldBot's structure while using the gun and movement (actually, only the trees) from SimpleBot. It, however, evolved a lot since then.
Although no code directly, its evolvement is inspired by a lot of bots, including DrussGT, Diamond, Tomcat, Nene and more on this wiki.
Credits give to
  • Skilgannon, for his DrussGT gun, which influenced me a lot, and for his wise advice to me.
  • Voidious, for his Diamond gun, which is extremely strong, pushing me to work on movement more and more. Some gun attributes are also inspired by Diamond.
  • Jdev, for his Tomcat movement, which is pretty unique, and its data analysis inspired me a lot as well.
  • Chase, for his Nene, which told me that a flattener or an Anti-Surfer Gun is not essential. Its movement inspired me a lot as well.
  • Jamougha, for his RaikoMicro, strong GuessFactor Gun with strong Random Movement, which is my favorite bot to test with ;).
