Huh, it seems it wasn't so brilliant after all. Version 1.9.0 is ~0.5 APS lower than 1.8.0.

The main change was to the way the wave system gathers bearing offsets. Version 1.8.0 used the traditional, coordinate-based method, whereas version 1.9.0 sums angular velocities. I made sure to keep it as precise as I could, I even adjusted the distance by which I divide the lateral velocity to calculate angular velocities with advancing velocities (actually negative advancing velocities, you might call them "retreating velocities") to account for the opponent moving toward or away from the source location of the wave.

Is there some obscure element of Robocode physics that makes sums of angular velocities inaccurate? Or is there a bug in my code?
