What's special about it?

It is completely deterministic after the initialization.

It is one of the only bullet shielders.

Great, I want to try it. Where can I download it?

How competitive is it?

I would say competitive, 10th currently.

Credits

Skilgannon for the bugless, fast Kd-tree

Cb for non iterative wall smoothing.

Rozu for the precise prediction code.

Chase-san for the intercept method I used in my PPMEA calculations.

Strategy

How does it move?

True Surfing

How does it fire?

It uses GuessFactor with DC

How does it dodge bullets?

Surfs the bins generated by a KNN algorithm.

How does the melee strategy differ from One-on-one strategy?

It doesn't support melee yet.

How does it select a target to attack/avoid in melee?

It doesn't support melee yet.

What does it save between rounds and matches?

Between rounds it saves the kd-trees. Between matches it doesn't save anything.

Additional Information

Where did you get the name?

From a book named "White Fang".

Can I use your code?

Yes, it's free if you give credit

What's next for your robot?

Better Bullet Shadow Calculations

Tuning the guns since they haven't been tuned since the first version (While I get a huge boost in TCRM, nothing happens in roborumble)

Gun Heat Waves

Precise MEA for movement

Maybe a pre-trained movement or gun to use in the first ticks of the battle

Beating Shadow

Entering top 10 DONE!!!

Precise Intersection

PPMEA for movement

Make the AS gun actually better than the main gun against surfers"

Does it have any White Whales?

I have problems with iiley's bots.

What other robot(s) is it based on?

It is not based on any other robot except my standard code base. Thanks to Beaming and Skilgannon for helping me to getting into the competition and for the TUR flag(Skilgannon).
