Robocode VSAB_EP3 vs SpinBot Battle

Arc Time Predictive Targeting
against Spinning Robot

Spinbot moves in a pure arc path with the same radius allowing the my robot to hit it with near 100% accuracy. VSAB_EP3 triangulates the position of the target based on the last four positions and calculates an arc path from it.

Why is your eyesight expanded?

It's a great bot btw. I wonder how do you know your enemy's gun heading? Do you assume heading=gunHeading, or what?

i don't, it's using a simple energy monitoring system. if the enemy changes energy without taking damage, it means that they've fired on me or something else, so i tell it to dodge.

damn, ur robot is amazing. my only question is how did u get the sound?

[dsx724]

thanks, the sound is the normal robocode sound. i just plugged in my headphone port into my microphone port so the audio is crappy cause of the AD converters. but now that i think about it, the sound is more like a battle.

Is this mind rover 2d?

[dsx724]

no, it's called robocode. you basically program a robot in java to fight other robots.

0:46 was a little unfortunate..lol

[invinciblemode]

what radar are you using?

[xxxcoolboyxxx]

yeah, but what if the enemy hits a wall, they lose 3 damage, but they havent fired, so you would move :P

[someman7]

i'm currently building a robot for uni/college too, its part of my coarse. and i kinda suck at locking onto my target. i lock on, shoot and then he just moves out of the way. currently i'm using simple harmonic motion to try and lock on to the damn thing but no luck, do you mind giving away alittle more of your secret?
