Editing BotCategories

Robo Home | Changes | Preferences | AllPages

Bots often fall in this or that category when it comes to competitions:

Type of fight:
* OneOnOne: Bots that fight face to face, only two bots in the arena.
* [[Melee]]: Bots capable of facing multiple enemies. More than two bots in the arena.
* Overall: Bots suited for both 1v1 and melee fights.
* [[Teams]].
 
WeightClass, measured in CodeSize:
* NanoBots: < 250
* MicroBots: < 750
* MiniBots: < 1500
* MegaBots: >= 1500

Max lines of code:
* HaikuBots: 4 lines
* SonnetBots: 14 lines

Special:
* PerceptualBots: Bots that do not store any information in-between turns
* FemtoBot: Basically rating = score / CodeSize, so the bigger the bot, the more score is needed for the same rating.
* MultiMode: Bots with multiple ways of doing things. Not specifically used in competitions.
* [[Survivalists]]: Bots focused on being the last one alive, bullet damage not required.
* JustForFun: Bots developed for amusement rather than battle.
* TechDemos: Bots built to show a special feature, and not intended for real battle.
* RamBots: Bots designed to fight at extremely close range, augmenting their score with ram damage.

Extends/implements - also see the RobocodeAPI:
* Extends [[Robot]]: Basic bots
* Extends AdvancedRobot: Includes non-blocking methods like setAhead ''(I think I'm going to clarify this -- [[Jonathan]])''
* Extends TeamRobot: Not really a BotCategory. See [[Teams]].
* Implements [[Droid]]

Check out DroidPoet which is a [[PerceptualBot]] [[Robot]]& [[Droid]] [[HaikuBot]]. It's probably a NanoBot as well. =) -- [[PEZ]]
