What's special about it?

See above.

Great, I want to try it. Is it available yet?

Unfortunately not. It was, but then I formatted my computer and backup up the wrong robocode folder, and its source code is gone. So, I am restarting it!

How competitive is it?

Hmm... The development version I had (not the latest one, which is 0.2 and is no longer available) could get intercept ratios of about 85% against many bots. This is unfortunately not enough to win the match. Hopefully the newer version will perform better.

How does it move?

Very, very predictably. That's kindof the point. See BulletShielding.

How does it fire?

True. Er, I mean, False.

How does it dodge bullets?

It doesn't dodge them; it shoots them down!

Does it do melee?

Nuh uh. Not possible. Shooting down bullets in a melee would be insane.

What does it save between rounds and matches?

Nothing.

Where did you get the name?

Good question! Hmm... I actually thought of it a while back, and, I forget now.

Can I use your code?

Nuh uh. The concepts it uses however are available all over the wiki. See BulletShielding.

What's next for your robot?

Making it work.

Does it have any WhiteWhales?

It will, I'm sure.

What other robot(s) is it based on?

OddBot?! And it uses bits and pieces of Fractal's framework.
