Getting into the top 5 in 1-v-1 would require a tremendous time investment. Melee and teams are largely ignored. I'd need to spend forever learning the latest tricks to be competitive in mini/micro/nano bots. It's just not worth it. Convince me that I'm wrong. :-)

Honestly, I would rather you stay away. I have a hard enough time beating your older bots. While you are at it, please keep iiley distracted too. :^P -- [[jim]]

Ha ha, that was funny, jim! :-D... and David, why should we need to motivate you? You are the only one who would know why Robocoding is fun for you. We all have our own reasons. --[[Vic]]

I'm sure there are people interested in melee or teams, but no one has started any competition yet there. You could. My suggestion is that you write a simple Robot (because that competition is currently just myself and Kawigi) because that's not much of a time investment. Then if that's still fun, maybe consider looking into what's going on in the megabot world. -- [[Alcatraz]]

Well, Robocode '''is''' still fun. It might be hard work to get a MegaBot into top-5, but so it should be. It's not like the days when I entered Robocode and could place really lousy bots in the top-10 (hey, [[Gouldingi]] once reached #6 in EternalRumble general class). But it's still fun. In my view it's the raised level that does it. There are still inventions to be made. [[Vic]] is trying to explore new areas for [[Targeting]] techniques. I think the way [[Locke]] deals with WaveSurfers is pretty promising. NanoBots are largely unexplored still in both OneOnOne and [[Melee]]. And [[Pugilist]] is in bad need of competition. -- [[PEZ]]
