What's special about it?
For you: nothing. For me: it's my first
MicroBot.
Great, I want to try it. Where can I download it?

How competitive is it?
Not very competitive just yet.
How does it move?
StopAndGo +
RandomMovement
How does it fire?
GuessFactorTargeting
It detects enemy fire and inches along like a caterpillar (against simple targeters).
How does the melee strategy differ from one-on-one strategy?
No melee strategy.
What does it save between rounds and matches?
It saves gun data between rounds, nothing between matches.
Where did you get the name?
It's named after one of the main characters from
[Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon]. It's tough to think of powerful but small warriors!
Can I use your code?
Yes, it's released under the
RWPCL.
What's next for your robot?
Not sure - probably lots of tweaks or complete abandonment. =)
It's not tough enough to be thinking about that yet.
What other robot(s) is it based on?
- Komarious - I derived the gun from its older sister, the MiniBot Komarious, which itself derived its gun from RaikoMicro, which I think derived its gun from Tityus.
- I haven't looked at the code for any other MicroBot duelists, but I have learned some things just from reading about Thorn, Waylander, and other top MicroBots, so it's bound to have some similar behaviors. So some credit ought to go to Kev, Skilgannon, and Simonton.
Comments, questions, feedback:
A MicroBot duelist from Voidious. I'll make a proper page tomorrow. No idea where this will rank, but I'd been tinkering a bit a couple weeks ago, so I may as well just release an initial version and start from there... -- Voidious
I was wondering when this was going to happen. I also saw a PhoenixMicro? on the roborumble.org page.... =) -- Skilgannon
Time will tell if I actually put much focus on it. I didn't see much appeal in making another StopAndGo / RandomMovement MicroBot, but I figured it would take two seconds to connect Komarious' gun to the decent RandomMovement from a TwinDuel team I was tinkering with. Now that I see it so far behind in the rankings, I almost can't help myself from going for a better rating, though. =) -- Voidious
