SynapticBot

I submitted j.SynapticBot 2+ to the original rumble in the beginner class. SynapticBot reached the semi-finals [1], where it was bested by Ares, the Beginner class winner. Overall, it ranked 5th in the Beginner class.

SynapticBot used Antigravity Movement with randomly placed attraction points to keep it from getting stuck or holding still. It used a rolling average Guess Factor to pick where to shoot. It would close to ramming distance if its energy was significantly greater than the opponents.
