Great, I want to try it. Where can I download it?

How does it dodge bullets?

Wave Surfing as of version 1.5
Prior to that: StopNGo, Oscillate, Mirror and Ram

How does the melee strategy differ from one-on-one strategy?

It's exclusively a one-on-one bot.

What does it save between rounds and matches?

Its neural network.

Can I use your code?

It's a mess, but feel free.

What's next for your robot?

Learn to move. Save neural networks.

What other robot(s) is it based on?

Chomsky was built using everything I could absorb from this wiki. Its limitations, however, are all my own. Thanks to everyone for contributing.

Thanks for moving this Martin! I misspelled Chomsky right out of the gate and have been a little embarrassed to fix it. --Corbos
