Welcome and best of luck with your bots! =) --Voidious 14:50, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Robowiki! Looking at what you've put in the rumble, one quick suggestion is to have all of your bots (WhoAmI.WhoAmI and uccc.Orbiter) under a common package. This is recommended so authors can easily be sorted out, and also one can get one's country flag in the rumble if one wishes. Best of luck with your Robocoding! :) --Rednaxela 01:59, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for opening a dialogue folks! Rednaxela, I agree about the package name. I'll be removing my bots in a day or so once the results stabilize. I've proposed the uccc.* package name to the club. While I don't see a reason why we wouldn't use it, I want to hold off until our next meeting before going forward with that namespace -- just in the event someone makes a good case for us not to use it. We will have a decision made by 02-10-2010. Anything we submit between now and then will be removed and repackaged under the new name. I'll drop a post in Talk:RoboRumble/Country_Flags once we have decided. Thank you again for your input, we appreciate it! Christopher.Hilla 02:17, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Group effort, eh? Sounds like it could be very successful and fairly frustrating. I've had two friends who did Robocode. The one who introduced me (and was retired from it) and another that I competed back and forth with, emailing zipped up class files back and forth as we one-upped each other. He also dropped out after a few months. Would be cool to interest someone else in it to collaborate with but it hasn't happened yet. --Martin 03:06, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

We're 12 students in the SUNY Ulster computer science program that have decided to compete in RoboCode as a function of the computer club. We have a pretty simple mission -- collaborate to get a bot as high up in the rankings as we can before the semester is up. After this round is over with, who knows where we'll go with it. At least you've got our company for the next 12 weeks. Thanks for the well wishes :) Christopher.Hilla 01:55, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
