Great, I want to try it. Where can I download it?
https://designnj.de/robocode/Krabb.krabby2.Krabby2_1.9p.jar
How does it move?
It surfs perpendicular to the Enemy.
Tuned for "bad" aiming bots
How does it fire?
Using many segmented VirtualGuns(based on fired waves, no tick waves): CircularTargeting and GuessFactors
Tuned for "good" moving bots
How does it dodge bullets?
TrueSurfing
How does the melee strategy differ from one-on-one strategy?
No meele stategy
Can I use your code?
Yes, it's released under the RWPCL. (since V. 1.9h)
What other robot(s) is it based on?
On Krabby, but the name is the only remaining similarity.
I must thank GrubbmGait for leading me to the top 50!

What happened to your top-100 position? Now you are not able to even hit Spinbot (or GrubbmOne) anymore! --GrubbmGait
Wait a bit, the release was a bit quick :) Krabby2 has some bugs... --Krabb
On the repository, there is no 1.7b, only 1.7! -- GrubbmGait
Yes, i got a "Session timeout"... I was not able to upload the new version :( --Krabb
Now there is a Krabby 1.17b jarfile instead of Krabby2 1.7b . . . -- GrubbmGait
Arrgg, today is not my day... --Krabb
I noticed your bots when I started with the wiki; they were milestones for me. Now, I see that your gun performs near bots ranked 30+. With some focus on movement, (simple adaptation would suffice, maybe rudimentary WaveSurfing) you would easily break 50. Just a thought. Keep up the hard work. --Corbos
Indeed the movement was bad! Thanks for your hint, i did not thought that it was that bad :) The new one looks promising --Krabb
1.9c really looks promising! This is the one to enter the top-50! -- GrubbmGait
1.9d: 1790.37 after 1200 battles. -- Martin
I wanted to push Krabby2 in the top 50 before ski holidays, but i failed ;( The new update only effects long battles. But soon i'll pass GrubbmGrb :) -- Krabb
Congratulations on passing GrubbmGrb, it seems that you'll be breaking the 1900 before I do. Alas I have no time (new project, long traveltime) to do some active robocoding, otherwise I would race you for it ;-) -- GrubbmGait
Only 3 points left to reach 1900, and I did not even start with my GF-gun equipped WaveSurfer GresSuffurd yet. -- GrubbmGait
Thank you, i'm really intrested in your new bot! --Krabby
