What's the highest ranking non-learning bot in the rumble?

Well, we can loosen the limit of perceptual to allow information of k recent turns, e.g. k-perceptual. Under this definition, linear targeting will be 1-perceptual, circular targeting being 2-perceptual, and average velocity targeting with window size k will be k-perceptual.

As long as k is large enough, we can still make effective learning methods. So there’s still not an absolute difference between learning and non-learning. Simple enough methods like averaging velocity is still “learning”.
