Re: Is it possible to make a competitive JuniorRobot?

I have made a few junior bots for testing. 
Until now i have been able to beat all the sample bots in 1 vs 1 combat. but when it comes to a melee it shows no deterministic result. 

Maybe mainly because i haven't been able track any enemy. I also lack proper targeting. only thing that works are some simple movement strategies. The blocking calls are becoming a major setback.

Any ideas for improvement?

However, I don't expect any code to be available on the net, and hence the JuniorRobot will suit well as a competition robot type. The JuniorRobot takes one turn per command, as it is not an AdvancedRobot. Therefore, most examples for AdvancedRobots will not work for the JuniorRobot. But I think it will be even more challenging to make a competitive JuniorRobot. :-)
