What's special about it?

Not much besides that it's my first MicroBot, mostly just a little thing for fun. It copies RaikoNano's movement entirely, and it's gun is mostly based on Falcon, so it's not very original code. The way that it aims is a bit different though...

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

[Jar] or code?

How competitive is it?

Probably not very...

How does it move?

RaikoNano

How does it fire?

It fires at random GuessFactors that you've visited, weighted towards more recent ones.

How does it dodge bullets?

RaikoNano is RandomMovement, so it doesn't.

What does it save between rounds and matches?

It saves the list of visited GuessFactors between rounds. Nothing between matches.

Where did you get the name?

I'm not quite sure myself... Though it kind of goes along unintentionally with Splinter which is also a rather random shooter.

Can I use your code?

Sure. Doubt you'd want to though.

What's next for your robot?

If I'm lucky, maybe turn the gun into a tiny semi-random DynamicClustering gun.

Does it have any WhiteWhales?

Nobody drives it to the edge of insanity, but it's not as if it beats many bots either.

What other robot(s) is it based on?

It's movement is entirely copied from RaikoNano, and it's gun is loosely based off of Falcon
