What's special about it

It's a lubricant to make others perform better in the team GrubbmGroup.

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

How competitive is it?

Not, it is happy when it can cooperate with others.

How does it move?

Oscillator movement with some wall-smoothing.

How does it fire?

HOT-gun.

How does it dodge bullets?

Not.

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

Not. Its team strategy however is to inform all others about the locations of the emenies.

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

Closest with a small preference for current and weak targets.

What does it save between rounds and matches?

Nothing

Where did you get the name?

I just love the sound of 'GR'. An Ogre cooperates with Grunts.

Can I use your code?

It's in the jar.

What's next for your robot?

Optimizing the teamstrategy (Done in v0.4). A real 'melee-radar' (Done in v0.3).

Does it have any WhiteWhales?

Only as a team.

What other robot(s) is it based on?

GrubbmOne and GrubbmTwo for framework, myl.Troodon for team-communication.

History

20060214: Removed from RR because it is old, not very good and not unique. Still active in melee and as teambot. 20061230: Also retired from meleerumble as I have far better mini's participating there. Still active as teambot though.

Comment: The team-intended improvements do not seem to help in melee, maybe they don't help in team either.

20050310: v 0.4 Mini -- Team and melee-intended improvements like less friendly fire, pick weakest and bounce on onRobotHit?. Also radarlock in one-on-one.

Comment: That radarlock is a bad idea, it does influence the movement.

20050203: v 0.3 Mini -- Replaced spinning gun with 'melee-type' radar (one sweep, then lock until fired).

Comment: This leader now has at least some teeth, although they still are milk-teeth.

20041226: v 0.1 Mini -- Stripped GrubbmOne v0.9 with HOT-gun and team-communication from myl.Troodon.

Comment: Only packaged as part of the team GrubbmGroup. The one-on-one performance probably sucks. A leader should still be able to fight, this one is clearly not a good leader.
