An interface that is used mostly in team play, possesses an additional 20 energy at the expense of not having a radar.
The opposite of a perceptual bot.
For Droid bots, i had this idea where you would pattern match on the opponent's location based on where the bullet is from...but i'm not sure exactly how to implement it yet...especially since i can't even pattern match with a normal robot! --Starrynte
I had an idea about using 0.1 bullets as a weak radar for Droids too... but then they only get 20 extra energy, and a power 3 bullet does 16 damage, so I thought it would never fly... It might be funny to see an all droid league though! =) --BenHorner
- I think some Droids use that trick, actually. There was at one time some interest in making Droids here (before my time), so you can still find some around; check out ImplementsDroidCompetition. It was a humbling day in my early Robocode experiences when I couldn't beat Kawigi's droid in 1v1. =) I can't seem to find it now, but it must be around here.. -- Voidious
