I think this robot would do very very badly against anything besides SpinBot. But I might modify it a bit and enter one in that. :-) --David Alves

My entry in the SpinBotChallenge. Attempts to get a perfect score against SpinBot.

Please do not enter modified versions of this bot in the SpinBotChallenge, although you are welcome to use my ideas in your own bot for the challenge.

Comments

I just want to say it's amazing, you are crazy, its the most amazing complex robot extends Robot i had seen. And the code is beautiful:). -- iiley

I'm as amazed as iiley is. How does this bot fare in the ExtendsRobotCompetition? -- PEZ

I think this robot would do very very badly against anything besides SpinBot. But I might modify it a bit and enter one in that. :-) --David Alves
