What's special about it?
It's a
OneOnOne NanoBot and the first bot I have released to the public.
Great, I want to try it. Where can I download it?

How competitive is it?
Not much. Version 1.0.0 even had a hard time beating ad.last.Bottom!
How does it move?
It orbits the enemy with random direction changes and an attempt at
WallSmoothing.
How does it fire?
It fires at a random guessfactor between -1 and 1, but biased towards GF 0.
What does it save between rounds and matches?
It saves nothing at all. Well, I guess it saves its last movement direction between rounds, as a result of making a variable static for byte saving.
Where did you get the name?
It's the name of a non-alcoholic, non-carbonated beverage (probably only sold in Sweden?) that I happened to be drinking when I started with the bot.
Can I use your code?
Soon...
What's next for your robot?
Tweeking and some minor changes.
Not right now...
What other robot(s) is it based on?
None. I wrote it from scratch. I may have borrowed a few ideas from the wiki so credits should go out to all who have shared their knowledge here.
