The joys of daydreaming

I'm also guilty of spending lots of time daydreaming about robocode but never releasing a bot. Have you spent much time thinking about mini, micro or nano bots? I found the lack of space to over engineer frameworks really helped push me from daydreaming to releasing my first bot.

I should do something smaller first, but a lot of my ideas are probably larger than a minibot could handle. Admittedly it's probably a good way to test some of the weirder concepts out, though!

Find an open source bot that you could stuff one of your weirder concepts into and see what happens. That's how I ended up with Quantum. What sort of weird concepts have you been dreaming up?
